Module description

Inserted transparently into the network, the HP TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an in-line security device that performs high-performance, deep packet inspection to protect customer networks from attack. The IPS blocks malicious and unwanted traffic, while allowing good traffic to pass unimpeded. In fact, the IPS optimizes the performance of good traffic by continually cleansing the network and prioritizing applications that are mission critical.
