The Cisco 8235 Secure Router blocked 98.3% of evaluated attack strikes while sustaining roughly 2 Gbps bidirectional throughput. Cisco positions the 8000 Series as a unified platform combining high-performance routing, integrated security, embedded ThousandEyes visibility, automated cellular failover, and post-quantum cryptography readiness for enterprise branch networks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What throughput did Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers achieve in independent testing while running security features? Miercom's independent testing found Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers sustained throughput ranging from 1.0 Gbps to 9.5 Gbps across the portfolio while simultaneously running next-generation firewall, intrusion prevention, URL filtering, application control, advanced malware protection, and NAT. The Cisco 8235 model specifically blocked 98.3% of evaluated attack strikes while sustaining about 2 Gbps of bidirectional throughput under load. _daily.dev surfaces vendor validation reports like this for engineers evaluating secure routing platforms._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [NetSecOPEN Validates Cisco 8375 Secure Routers: Security and Performance for the Branch](https://daily.dev/posts/netsecopen-validates-cisco-8375-secure-routers-security-and-performance-for-the-branch-z9lfmbnzo) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [We third-party tested our firewall built for AI-scale.
