Pricing is usage-based and measured in Mbps of legitimate bandwidth. You start with a base Cloud Application Protection plan in three levels: Standard, Advanced, and Complete. Standard sizes by throughput (10, 50, or 100 Mbps) for one application. Advanced and Complete cover 10 Mbps for one application, with per-application add-ons to expand coverage. On top of any base plan, you can layer independent add-ons billed separately. These include CDN enablement, Cloud DDoS Protection (on-demand or always-on), Web DDoS, Firewall as a Service, Network Analytics, AI SOC Xpert, Access Logs, LLM Firewall, PCI DSS compliance, ERT Premium support, extra protected networks, and the SecurePath connector.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one Mbps of legitimate bandwidth mean for billing?
Pricing meters legitimate traffic bandwidth, measured in Mbps, not attack or blocked traffic. Your base plan is sized to a bandwidth tier, and many add-ons are also priced against legitimate bandwidth blocks, such as 10Mbps or 200Mbps units. Attack traffic that the service filters out does not count toward your metered bandwidth.
How do the base plan and add-ons combine on one bill?
You pick one base Cloud Application Protection plan, then layer optional add-ons that each bill separately. Charges add together, so your total is the base plan plus every add-on you select. Per-application add-ons extend coverage one application at a time. Bandwidth-based add-ons bill in fixed blocks, like 10Mbps or 200Mbps.
How do the On-Demand and Always-On Cloud DDoS Protection options differ for cost?
Both meter legitimate bandwidth in 10Mbps units. On-Demand DDoS Protection engages only when mitigation is triggered, suited to occasional attack response. Always-On keeps protection active continuously, suited to constant exposure. You choose one model per subscription, and each is billed monthly against your legitimate bandwidth.
