How Do You Define Intrusion Prevention?
Intrusion Prevention is a solution that protects applications, infrastructure
and performance. Host applications and operating systems are protected against
worms, Trojans and viruses. Infrastructure elements, like routers, firewalls,
and DNS servers, are protected against DoS attacks and other compromises.
Mission-critical application performance is protected by eliminating or
throttling rogue applications such as peer-to-peer and instant messaging.
The switch-like performance characteristics of a TippingPoint IPS allow it to be
placed in-line at the perimeter, on internal network segments, at the core,
and at remote site locations. These powerful enforcement points can be
centrally controlled to institute and enforce business-wide security policies.
This pervasive presence allows the TippingPoint IPS to see all network traffic
and protect against external as well as internal attacks.
