TippingPoint's protection strategy and "defense-in-depth" approach can prevent attempts to install Spyware. To prevent existing infected systems from contaminating the network, the TippingPoint IPS prevents pop-up advertisements and information transfer to and from the enterprise network. Reports and event tracking in the IPS logs provides information to pinpoint infected systems and isolate and eradicate Spyware infections.

TippingPoint's IPS is unique in handling Spyware infiltration and infection. The IPS is a network-based hardware device that detects and filters traffic at multi-gigabit speeds with extremely low latencies and extraordinary accuracy. This network-based ASIC specific hardware solution protects at the network perimeter or between network segments. The IPS is non-invasive and blocks Spyware before it reaches the end host, protecting and preventing hundreds of hosts from infection while reducing clean-up time and saving help desk costs.
