Richard Cross Toyota Europe "TippingPoint IPS systems are the smartest, most advanced security solutions available. They're the simplest to deploy and manage because they're standards-based and can interoperate with all kinds of hardware. You can't go wrong with TippingPoint."

K. Kim Hawaii Department of Education "TippingPoint provides an enterprise security solution we can manage from a central location and a track record no other vendor can match. TippingPoint not only offers powerful security, it delivers the means to easily manage multiple remote systems, ensuring their ongoing efficacy and greatly reducing ownership costs. We eliminate the expense of having onsite personnel to fine-tune the devices or load the latest filters."

Roger Huff Paragon Biomedical "Right out of the box, the TippingPoint solution worked flawlessly and its wire speed performance was tremendous. It carefully inspects every packet without degrading the network's speed."

Martin Maren House Ear Institute "Our TippingPoint solution makes our life a lot easier. We had an immediate, noticeable reduction in phishing emails. For example, before, I typically received 15 phishing emails per day. Now I get only one or two. Extend that across our company, and you can see the high value the TippingPoint IPS provides."

Takeshi Eto Discount ASP.NET "Our TippingPoint IPS is an investment in our future. By offering the most secure and reliable Web hosting available, we now can differentiate ourselves in the marketplace to attract new customers. With TippingPoint's security professionals working for us day and night to protect our services, we're free to focus on our core competency and grow our business."

Sten Beckhans Stockholm Söder Hospital "The TippingPoint IPS demands few changes or reconfigurations to our existing network systems, which helps to contain ownership costs. It also protects multiple gigabit links without impacting networking performance, making it ideal for organizations as large as ours. No longer will a missed security updates jeopardize our patients and cots us a fortune. Our TippingPoint solution simplifies and automates our enterprise-wide security, enhancing IT productivity and preserving budgets for our medical departments rather than for security clean-ups."

Mike Briggs The George Washington University Law School "The TippingPoint IPS is our core security solution and I never want to be without it. For a very reasonable investment, the TippingPoint IPS frees our IT staff to concentrate on the school's mission of providing the best technology-driven law education in the nation."

Wilhelm Seucan centron "The TippingPoint IPS gives us a huge competitive edge. It has enhanced security, availability and performance. Not only are we better able to serve our clients' needs, the TippingPoint IPS is an important factor in attracting new clientele. When you can demonstrate with a clear report that you are protecting clients' servers from thousands of threats each day, that inspires enormous customer confidence right off the bat."

Doug Welborn State of Louisiana Criminal Justice System "With the pervasive protection of our TippingPoint solution, our security infrastructure is second to none. The TippingPoint system is so effective, the Homeland Security Department and courts nationwide are adopting it."

Vejen Kommune Peter Vogensen "The Digital Vaccine service is fantastic. By blocking threats from entering our network before any damage occurs, the update service is the reason why Vejen's network has not been infected once since the TippingPoint IPS was installed. Without it, we would almost assuredly be infected on a constant basis."

Palm Beach Atlantic University Herman Silva "We were awestruck by how effectively the TippingPoint system repelled attacks right out of the box using its default settings. Right away we knew we had the one solution that could safeguard our network from all the insidious exploits swarming about the Internet. Deployment was a piece of cake. This is pretty remarkable considering the sophistication and power of the TippingPoint systems."

UW Medicine Cindy Jenkins "After test-driving the TippingPoint IPS, we found that it was the only solution that met our need for pervasive protection in advance of exploit. But when an all-out onslaught that has damaged networks around the world come kicking at your gateway, the TippingPoint IPS has proved it's a terrific security solution. I can't imagine how we could survive without it."

Jeff Crawford East Grand Rapids Public Schools "In addition to providing attack-specific protection, the TippingPoint filters also guard against exploitation of vulnerabilities through vulnerability-based protection, deterring future attacks, both known and unknown. Now, we'll always have preemptive protection against threats."

Carl Boomgaarden North Dakota State School of Science "The TippingPoint solution is doing a remarkable job stopping every form of attack from penetrating our network. Our TippingPoint IPS not only keeps our network safe, it also dumps non-legitimate traffic off our network, freeing up bandwidth for our students, faculty, and administrators. It's a virtually bullet proof system the college counts on everyday without fail to sustain our communications."

Brian Worrell IU Medical Group "Our obligation to keep prying eyes and malicious software from our network is more than a legal requirement. The TippingPoint 1200 Intrusion Prevention System delivers advanced protection without compromising vital network performance."

John Bradberry The Planet "In performing our due diligence, we found that no other solution could process our massive traffic volume without compromising performance. We've recorded rates as high as 900,000 packets per second on a single TippingPoint system, which is amazing. TippingPoint's combination of speed and comprehensive protection is very impressive. Other intrusion prevention systems don't come close."

Silas Boyle MaximumASP "After the testing was complete, TippingPoint was the hands down winner due to the superior performance and intuitive user interface. The TippingPoint IPS was the only product tested that could provide the required performance to protect our network from worms, viruses, denial of service attacks and application attacks. A superior product combined with TippingPoint's Digital Vaccine update service made this an easy choice. Out of all products tested, no signature/rule update service even compared to Digital Vaccine."

Matt Riley University of Redlands "Since we put in the TippingPoint IPS, we have not incurred even one successful DoS attack. The system provides us with complete in-line protection, something that no other product could do. Even if an attack starts internally, it may hit our switch, but the TippingPoint IPS will stop it."

Petre Volak Palacky University "TippingPoint is a digital security blanket we simply couldn't afford to be without. With the TippingPoint IPS blocking attacks, we can concentrate on expanding our network services to further improve the university's academics as we get deeper into the 21st century. TippingPoint gives us an extraordinary combination of preemptive security and networking performance. The system provides total packet protection at Gigabit speed and can scale easily to accommodate our network growth and increased traffic. Moreover, our IT staff deployed the IPS without reconfiguring other network devices, which saved us a huge amount of time. The TippingPoint IPS performance is beyond what we thought possible."

Paul Criscuolo Los Alamos National Labs "One of the unique issues here at the lab is our high data load. The thing that got TippingPoint in the door was the number of certifications that their appliance really could handle 2 Gigabits load, a lot of people make that claim, but can't actually do it. Their technical support is impressive, they give better response than anyone else in the industry."

Paul Griffin Nedbank "With TippingPoint, we've increased the protection we provide our customers against identity and electronic theft. TippingPoint's Intrusion Prevention System has been very effective at preventing various viruses, worms and other cyber threats from entering our gateway. It's more proactive than traditional security technologies."

Andre Foster Cable Bahamas "From the moment the TippingPoint was plugged into our network, and with minimal configuration, it began proactively blocking threats against our cable modem access segments. This is a level of protection I never imagined we could provide to all of our broadband cable subscribers, and we are continuing to evolve our network to strategically place TippingPoint closer to the core where it can provide the greatest amount of protection for not only our broadband cable modem infrastructure, but also our 300 site Metro Ethernet deployment."

R. R. Rodriguez Texas State University "TippingPoint is a superior product unlike anything on the market today. We were very pleased with how quickly TippingPoint developed and deployed a signature to block the Sapphire attacks through its Digital Vaccine service. While other organizations scrambled to defend themselves against the SQL Slammer, we knew our system was secure."

Jim Graves Archstone-Smith "We selected TippingPoint based on its proactive capabilities to reliably and effectively defend against malicious network attacks. Since installing it in-line, TippingPoint is blocking approximately 500 suspicious attacks per day. The payback on our initial investment in TippingPoint was immediate. TippingPoint has enabled us to decrease security administration costs and eliminate expenses associated with remediation by blocking attacks before they occur."

Wayne Davis Charter Communications "We selected TippingPoint because they integrated security and traffic management capabilities in one platform. TippingPoint enables us to provide our customers with a faster, more secure Internet connection. In fact, TippingPoint blocks several million attacks per day, protecting our customers from being infected by worms and viruses."

Chuck Stiegerwalt Regis University "TippingPoint has proven to be a good investment for Regis University. It has greatly improved our security profile and is very effective at stopping attacks."

Dan Agronow weather.com "We were extremely impressed with the performance and reliability of the TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Appliances. The firewall products we tested did not adequately meet our needs, but TippingPoint handled the load when our Web site traffic increased significantly, and continued to block all malicious traffic."

Ronnie Wagers University of Dayton "With TippingPoint, our security logs showed us blocking over 50,000 MyDoom viruses per hour. The number of attacks blocked has grown as the week has progressed. We are extremely impressed with the product's protection."

Ronny Nussbaum Jacada "TippingPoint protects us from internal and external threats. We placed the device in front of the firewall where it relieves the load on the firewall and blocks malicious traffic. I love this product! We've experienced bandwidth savings of approximately 30 percent."

Jade Jenkins Odyssey HealthCare "We were most impressed with the way the filters are written to protect our infrastructure from the actual vulnerabilities and not from a virus or variant strain perspective. Being able to utilize a two port appliance to protect both external and internal network communications only goes to show the power of the system."

John L. Oberlin University of North Carolina "The University of North Carolina was evaluating the TippingPoint IPS when the Sobig virus hit. At the peak of the Sobig.F outbreak, we were receiving more than 100,000 infected messages per hour, and received over 1.5 million copies over a 12 hour period. TippingPoint was so effective at blocking the virus that we immediately purchased several appliances in order to protect our entire network."

Randle Moore University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston "Since introducing the TippingPoint appliance into our network, it has more than paid for itself by preventing numerous worms and viruses from even entering our network. Over the past three days alone, the device has stopped between 30,000 to 45,000 virus-infected e-mails per hour from the Internet."

Mike Phillips Texas Tech University "We have been very pleased with TippingPoint and the outstanding support we have received from the professionals at TippingPoint. The appliance is an integral part of our security strategy and addresses a number of issues relevant to the University community."
