Service Provider
Service providers are faced with the daunting task of providing value-added services to
their customers while maintaining healthy networks. As malicious cyber attacks and non-mission
critical applications (e.g. Peer-to-Peer, Instant Messaging) overwhelm network resources, the
effect on bandwidth availability, router and switch utilization, and data center server up-time
is substantial. This complicates the ongoing operation and support of today's networks and
jeopardizes the service provider's ability to offer IP-based services such as Voice over IP and
Streaming Video. In addition, service providers must also ensure that their own internal
networks are protected from the same cyber attacks and network strain that their customers
face.
With TippingPoint, service providers can eliminate malicious traffic from their networks, manage
non-mission critical application usage, ensure protection against subscriber-to-network and
subscriber-to-subscriber attacks and implement new and value-added services, confident that
their security and network performance is assured.
