TippingPoint Launches Industry’s First Emergency Response Service

Service Provides Immediate Threat Response and Support for Businesses Worldwide TippingPoint, a leader in intrusion prevention, today introduced the TippingPoint(R) Emergency Response Service, to help organizations immediately address the impact posed by cyber attacks, viruses and various other risks that continue to threaten network security without warning. For organizations that are experiencing a network security breach or feel they may be under attack, this complimentary service will provide network managers with access to TippingPoint’s intrusion prevention system (IPS) to immediately stop threats from impacting the business. Today’s hackers are using a blended approach to attacks, taking advantage of vulnerabilities through any number of vectors. In addition, the attacks are coming faster and more frequently, giving network administrators less and less time to react. With the TippingPoint Emergency Response Service, companies impacted by a network security event can contact TippingPoint for on-site deployment of the TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) within 24-72 hours. The IPS instantly begins monitoring traffic and taking the necessary steps to protect the organization’s networks from malicious attacks and vulnerabilities at the perimeter and inside the network core. “Network attacks like viruses, worms and distributed denial of service (DDoS) can be disruptive to an organization – in part because they are often taking place without the organization knowing what is going on,” said Richard Stiennon, founder and chief research analyst at IT-Harvest. “Services like TippingPoint’s ERS are not only eye-opening for these organizations, but can also save them a lot of time and resources by stopping these attacks before they cause permanent harm to the network or business operations.” The TippingPoint IPS is ideally suited to addressing emergency security needs. Key features include: - Inline deployment for instant attack blocking: Unlike intrusion detection systems (IDS), which simply alert administrators that a breach has occurred, the TippingPoint IPS proactively blocks the malicious content from reaching its destination on the network. Using an inline security product, like the TippingPoint IPS, is the best way to stop attacks from impacting the network. - Easy, fast set up for immediate relief from attacks: A 2008 study by Infonetics found that TippingPoint’s IPS was much easier and faster to deploy than competitive solutions. For network administrators, this means attacks are blocked within minutes of deployment not hours – a relief for organizations experiencing a security breach where any time delay can cause further damage to the network and disrupt business operations. - Broad product scope: Attacks can occur at various points on the network – at the core, at the perimeter or even at remote sites. The breadth of TippingPoint’s IPS portfolio means that it can respond to a broad set of attack scenarios across the enterprise. As part of the TippingPoint Emergency Response Service, organizations will experience firsthand TippingPoint’s key differentiators including up-to-date filter sets and vulnerability protection from TippingPoint’s Digital Vaccine(R) Laboratories (DVLabs) security research team. Providing the security intelligence behind TippingPoint’s products, the DVLabs team consists of world-renowned security researchers that apply their cutting-edge engineering and analysis talents in their daily operations. The DVLabs team also provides TippingPoint customers with real-time threat and IPS filter data to designate security policy changes as needed through ThreatLinQ, TippingPoint’s security intelligence portal. The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) program rewards more than 1,000 researchers worldwide for responsibly reporting discovered vulnerabilities. In a 2008 study commissioned by TippingPoint, Infonetics Research reported that TippingPoint discovered three times more vulnerabilities than the nearest IPS competitor. “We’ve found that many organizations are still not fully aware of what events are taking place on their network or how those events impact performance. Recent attacks like Conficker and the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) in South Korea demonstrate how important it is to know what is happening on your network all of the time,” said Ted Ross, director of systems engineering for TippingPoint. “Creating the TippingPoint Emergency Response Service is a way for us to educate network administrators about the dangers that still threaten their networks and provide them with the tools necessary to keep those threats from becoming a reality.” TippingPoint Emergency Response Service is offered globally and requests can be made by contacting [email protected] or toll free at +1 866 681 8324.
