What is the Return on Investment for Intrusion Prevention?
Most customers tell us that payback is instantaneous. Intrusion Prevention
provides continuous benefits in any network environment.
- Automatically Block Attacks -
By blocking attacks and allowing IT staff to test security patches
before deployment, system uptime is ensured.
- Eliminate Emergency Patching -
TippingPoint's Digital Vaccine filters act as Virtual Software Patches, alleviating
the need for ad-hoc and emergency patching.
- Protect Unpatched Systems -
Most environments cannot control all end user desktops. Some
environments such as service providers or universities have very little
control. TippingPoint provides network segmentation to stop the spread of
malicious traffic from infected users, while notifying the administrator
where attacks are originating.
- Reclaim Bandwidth -
Blocking malicious traffic and rate shaping rogue applications can
increase bandwidth availability by 40-70 percent.
- Accelerate Network Performance -
By continually cleansing the network of malicious and unwanted traffic,
network performance is accelerated for mission critical applications.
In many customer environments, even one of these components of ROI can offer
100% return on investment. When combined, these ROI elements provide a
powerful business case for the TippingPoint IPS. No other Intrusion Prevention
System in the industry can claim these combined cost benefits.
