3Com Introduces the TippingPoint™ X505

3Com has redefined network security with the launch of the industry's first network-based intrusion prevention system with multi-function security capabilities.

The new TippingPoint™ X505 from 3Com's TippingPoint division is the first integrated security platform built upon TippingPoint's award-winning Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) technology, combining stateful inspection firewall, IPSec VPN, bandwidth management, Web content filtering and dynamic routing. This new platform meets the growing demand of enterprise customers to have a more complete security solution that provides preemptive, automatic and dynamic protection not found in today's firewalls.

The TippingPoint X505 adds intelligence into the network by performing total packet flow inspection to block malicious traffic, throttle non-essential traffic, and prioritize mission-critical traffic regardless of the type of traffic inspected: voice, data or video.

The TippingPoint X505 is offered through TippingPoint Authorized Partners backed by 3Com Global Services.

Key features of the TippingPoint X505 include:

Comprehensive Intrusion Prevention
Provides Layer 2-7 deep packet inspection against internal and external attacks including worms, viruses, Trojans, spyware, peer-to-peer, phishing and zero-day vulnerabilities.

Integrated Security Services
Extends the functionality of a network-based intrusion prevention system with IPSec VPN, stateful packet inspection firewall, bandwidth management, dynamic routing and content filtering without degrading network performance.

Content Filtering
Enforces acceptable Web-usage policies to improve productivity, reduce wasted bandwidth, reduce liability and bring corporations under legislative compliance.

VoIP Enablement
Provides full VoIP vulnerability prevention via TippingPoint's Digital Vaccine® filters as well as facilitates the use of headquarter-based VoIP systems by remote branch offices. Traffic prioritization enables high quality of service (QoS) for VoIP calls across a VPN tunnel.
