Enforcing Endpoint Security Through Network-Based Quarantine Protection

Tags:
anti-virus

Overview The most dangerous security threats often emanate from within corporate LANs, and the only true defense is to strictly enforce security policies throughout the entire network. TippingPoint's Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) incorporate innovative enhancements to prevent the propagation of cyber threats from within the network and quarantine infected devices. This quarantine process prevents the infected device from harming neighboring systems and provides instantaneous redirection to remediation Web pages or URLs. Endpoint security should always include antivirus software and OS patch updates as a base level of security. However, TippingPoint's Quarantine capability complements and goes beyond the simple verification of updated OS's and AV signature packs to control the behavior of endpoints that are connected to the LAN.
