TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System
TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System is a world renowned system that delivers
the most powerful network protection in the world. The TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention
System is automatically configured for all customers absolutly Free of Charge! As
packets pass through the IPS, they are fully inspected to determine whether they
are legitimate or malicious. This instantaneous form of protection is the most effective
means of preventing attacks from ever reaching their targets.
TippingPoint's Intrusion Prevention Systems provide Application Protection, Performance
Protection and Infrastructure Protection at gigabit speeds through total packet
inspection. Application Protection capabilities provide fast, accurate, reliable
protection from internal and external cyber attacks. Through its Infrastructure
Protection capabilities, the TippingPoint IPS protects VoIP infrastructure, routers,
switches, DNS and other critical infrastructure from targeted attacks and traffic
anomalies. TippingPoint's Performance Protection capabilities enable customers to
throttle non-mission critical applications that hijack valuable bandwidth and IT
resources, thereby aligning network resources and business-critical application
performance.
The system is built upon TippingPoint's Threat Suppression Engine (TSE) - a highly
specialized hardware-based intrusion prevention platform consisting of state-of-the-art
network processor technology and TippingPoint's own set of custom ASICs. The TippingPoint
ASIC-based Threat Suppression Engine is the underlying technology that has revolutionized
network protection. Through a combination of pipelined and massively parallel processing
hardware, the TSE is able to perform thousands of checks on each packet flow simultaneously.
The TSE architecture utilizes custom ASICs, a 20 Gbps backplane and high-performance
network processors to perform total packet flow inspection at Layers 2-7. Parallel
processing ensures that packet flows continue to move through the IPS with a latency
of less than 215 microseconds, independent of the number of filters that are applied.
The TippingPoint TSE architecture also enables traffic classification and rate shaping.
Sophisticated algorithms baseline "normal" traffic allowing for automatic thresholds
and throttling so that mission critical applications are given a higher priority
on the network.
An integral part of the TippingPoint solution is the Digital Vaccine Service that
delivers new filters on a weekly or even daily basis to maintain evergreen protection
for the latest vulnerabilities, exploits, viruses and rogue applications.
TippingPoint provides the best solutions to guard against denial of service, malicious
traffic, viruses, malware, phishing, spyware and other types of Internet threats
via wire speed detection and remediation coupled with automatic and zero day response.
