Aug 23, 2004 : TippingPoint Launches DoS Prevention
📅 - Intrusion prevention provider TippingPoint Technologies Inc. (tippingpoint.com) announced on Monday that it will extend its UnityOne intrusion prevention systems to include advanced denial of service protection, designed to block a variety of denial of service and distributed denial of service attacks, including SYN floods, correction floods, packet floods and difficult to detect attacks from spoofed and non-spoofed sources.
Tipping Point says its DoS protection is made possible through a hybrid approach that combines anomaly filters, SNY proxy, rate shaping and statistical techniques. New UnityOne features control connections and requests to allow legitimate clients full access to resources while preventing attackers from flooding a server.
"TippingPoint is excited to help customers like eNom achieve total network security," said TippingPoint's chief technology officer Marc Willebeek-LeMair. "The value proposition of intrusion prevention is clear given today's threat environment, and increases dramatically with the addition of Advanced DoS Protection. Only TippingPoint combines best-of-breed intrusion prevention with Advanced DoS Protection, VoIP Protection, and Performance Protection."
According to Tipping Point, advanced denial of service protection is expected to be available as an optional feature on UnityOne intrusion prevention systems in the fourth quarter of 2004. A limited release version for select devices is available now.
