"Many small to medium organizations and large enterprises with numerous branch offices are moving toward securing their network environments with fewer resources," said Robert Ayoub, senior research analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Managed security service providers are in a prime position to offer dedicated intrusion prevention services and risk management capabilities to organizations that lack or are downsizing their in-house security resources."

Both the TippingPoint 110 and TippingPoint 330 provide comprehensive traffic inspection and filtering using TippingPoint's Digital Vaccine® service to identify and block security threats before they impact the network. Additionally, both products can be managed locally or by using the TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) for more robust management and reporting options.

"We've had tremendous success providing network protection at the perimeter. However, IPS performance requirements are sometimes more stringent internally," said James Collinge, director of product line management for TippingPoint. "The introduction of these appliances gives our customers more options for deployment between internal zones, out at remote or satellite offices and in some cases at the DMZ to protect valuable Web application assets."

The TippingPoint 110 and TippingPoint 330 are now available. For more information, please visit http://www.tippingpoint.com/tp110-330.
