It’s a new year and new opportunities await!  But wait, hold on -- doesn’t that mean a whole new year of ruthless assaults on your network? (And here you are… hoping to protect irreplaceable data.)

The threat landscape continually evolves. From one day to the next, it’s a relentless progression of assaults. Think you’re not a target? Think you’re safe? It all comes down to risk management and you can never be too careful.

It’s all about security in 2012. Without a solid defense, you have nothing. Without protection, you’re vulnerable.  It’s just a matter of time before the marauders sneak through your back door and destroy everything you have worked so hard to accomplish. 
Network intrusion protection systems are one line of defense. And there are a number of them on the market. Let’s take a quick looks at HP’s TippingPoint IPS.

When HP acquired 3Com, HP beefed up their security division with TippingPoint products and services, further enhancing the HP security portfolio and strengthening their reputation within the security industry.

HP TippingPoint provides your company with up-to-date protection. Its virtualization structure allows you to control your environment by exercising in-line security policy enforcement.  A virtual controller (VController) and a virtual IPS (vIPS) ensure the security of your virtual infrastructure. By performing inspections and automating threat blocking, security is tight, while the process is streamlined.
