Global Coverage, Massive Capacity
The Cisco Secure Cloud DDoS Protection Service1 is backed by a worldwide network of 21 scrubbing centers, with 15 Tbps of mitigation capacity (and growing). Offered in partnership with Radware, the scrubbing centers are globally connected in full mesh mode using anycast-based routing. This helps ensure that distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are mitigated closest to their point of origin and provides truly global DDoS mitigation capable of absorbing even the largest volumetric attacks.
