TippingPoint, a leader in intrusion prevention, has introduced the TippingPoint Emergency Response Service to help organisations immediately address the impact posed by cyber attacks, viruses and various other risks that continue to threaten network security without warning.

For organisations that are experiencing a network security breach or feel they may be under attack, this complimentary service will provide network managers with access to TippingPoint’s intrusion prevention system (IPS) to immediately stop threats from impacting the business.

With the TippingPoint Emergency Response Service, companies impacted by a network security event can contact TippingPoint for on-site deployment of the TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) within 24-72 hours. The IPS instantly begins monitoring traffic and taking the necessary steps to protect the organisation’s networks from malicious attacks and vulnerabilities at the perimeter and inside the network core.

“We’ve found that many organisations are still not fully aware of what events are taking place on their network or how those events impact performance. Recent attacks like Conficker and the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) in South Korea demonstrate how important it is to know what is happening on your network all of the time,” said Ted Ross, director of systems engineering for TippingPoint.

“Creating the TippingPoint Emergency Response Service is a way for us to educate network administrators about the dangers that still threaten their networks and provide them with the tools necessary to keep those threats from becoming a reality,” he added.

TippingPoint Emergency Response Service is offered globally and requests can be made by contacting TERS@tippingpoint.com or toll free at +1 866 681 8324.
