Miercom Validates Cisco 8000 Routers at Up to 9.5 Gbps for Secure DIA

Summary
Miercom said Cisco’s 8000 Series Secure Routers sustained 1.0 Gbps to 9.5 Gbps while running firewall, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, application control, malware protection and NAT together in branch-style DIA tests.
The validation focused on whether enterprises can keep high internet throughput and integrated security at the same time as AI, cloud and SaaS traffic push more business-critical workloads directly onto the internet.
Cisco’s 8235 Secure Router blocked 98.3% of evaluated attack strikes while maintaining about 2 Gbps of bidirectional throughput under load, according to the testing.
Cisco said the platform also bundles identity-based microsegmentation, post-quantum cryptography, ThousandEyes visibility and automated cellular failover to simplify branch operations and improve resilience.
