Lancope, Mazu, Patchlink Team with TippingPoint for Security Solution
TippingPoint, a division of 3Com, a provider of intrusion prevention systems, has revealed third party security solutions that can interoperate with the TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)-based quarantine capability for active security policy enforcement. Lancope, Mazu Networks, and PatchLink now work directly with TippingPoint products to quarantine endpoints in violation of network policies as well as automate endpoint remediation, as per a statement issued by the company.
TippingPoint’s quarantine feature was launched in February 2006 as an IPS capability that leverages network infrastructure to isolate and resolve any internal sources of malicious activity. By ensuring any device can be contained for remediation, businesses maintain a healthy network and block the internal spread of attacks, reducing technical support calls and costs, the company said.
The IPS quarantine capability works with TippingPoint’s Security Management System (SMS) and existing network switches or management systems to block malicious traffic, contain infected endpoints, and provide support for remediation of infected devices. Now, quarantine is interoperable with third party patch and vulnerability management solutions for automated remediation, and with Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) tools to move from policy violation alerting to in-line policy enforcement, the company added.
"The integration between PatchLink and TippingPoint enables customers to automate security incident response", said Rich Hlavka, PatchLink’s senior vice president of business development.
