Phishing Protection

TippingPoint's Phishing Protection is an extension of the market-leading, award-winning TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Using a combination of vulnerability filters, signatures and behavior-based protection techniques to detect and prevent phishing attempts, the TippingPoint IPS is able to analyze the content of both the e-mail and the Web site and look for defining phishing characteristics, certain behaviors or certain vulnerabilities. The TippingPoint IPS uses its intelligence to determine if it is an attack. With Phishing Protection, the TippingPoint IPS thwarts phishing e-mail scams to protect end users from financial losses and protect enterprises from unauthorized phishing operations within their networks or on their Web servers.

TippingPoint's anti-phishing filters block at every phase of a phishing attack:

  1. Initial Web Site Compromise
    TippingPoint protects vulnerabilities in Web sites and servers
  2. Mass Phishing E-Mail
    TippingPoint utilizes behavior-based filters, content inspection, and pattern-matching signatures to block
  3. Victim Clicks on Misleading URL
    The URL itself is evaluated to determine if it is linking to a legitimate or fraudulent site
  4. Phish Web Site is Displayed
    Web site is evaluated for exploited vulnerabilities and IPS inspects Web content and uses behavior-based filters for signs of forgery
  5. Victim Submits Account Information
    If information is submitted to a suspected phishing site, the IPS will block the information transfer

TippingPoint's comprehensive security platform extends defenses both inside and outside the network perimeter. TippingPoint defends the end user against sophisticated phishing campaigns aimed at compromising their private data and identity. Simultaneously, TippingPoint protects the enterprise by securing the network, Web sites and Web servers against assaults. By providing this pervasive security posture, the TippingPoint IPS increases corporate productivity and reduces significant financial losses and liability from customer identity theft. As a network solution, TippingPoint offers the most comprehensive phishing protection available. Unlike spam-based phishing solutions, TippingPoint can block an array of phishing scams and even unknown scams due to its vulnerability, pattern matching and behavior based prevention.
