Intrusion Prevention Appliances and Systems
The TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
delivers the most powerful network protection in the world. The
TippingPoint IPS is an in-line device that is inserted seamlessly
and transparently into the network. 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 2400
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.
UnityOne™ Intrusion Prevention Appliances
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.
The TippingPoint IPS family offers a range of products that differ
in capacity and the number of simultaneous segments they protect.
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.
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Security
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology has come of age and is quickly
gaining momentum as an affordable alternative to traditional PSTN
networks. VoIP packetizes phone calls through the same routes used
by network and Internet traffic and is consequently prone to the
same cyber threats that plague these carriers today. In addition
to traditional network security and availability concerns, there
are a plethora of new VoIP protocols that have yet to undergo detailed
security analysis and scrutiny.
TippingPoint's UnityOne Application Protection provides comprehensive
attack prevention for VoIP against known and unknown zero-day cyber
threats. UnityOne secures VoIP through Infrastructure Protection,
VoIP Protocol Anomaly Protection and VoIP Application Protection.
UnityOne assures VoIP Quality of Service and further protects against
denial of service attacks through its patent pending thresholding
and rate shaping capabilities. TippingPoint also provides constant
Virtual Software Patch updates with its Digital Vaccine service
to maintain evergreen protection at all networking layers.
TippingPoint has established the VoIP Security Research Lab as
a nerve center for breakthrough VoIP security testing. TippingPoint's
industry-recognized security researchers work alongside VoIP vendors
and customers in analyzing weaknesses in VoIP architectures, discovering
new vulnerabilities through functional protocol testing, educating
and training, as well as presenting research in trade magazines,
security journals and conferences. The by-product of these research
efforts ensures UnityOne is able to protect against the latest VoIP
vulnerabilities and attack techniques.
