The TippingPoint 50 has dual Fast Ethernet ports, so it can work inline with a connection and a dedicated management port.
Based on custom-designed high-speed security processors, the UnityOne network-based Intrusion Prevention Appliances (IPA) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are designed to stop cyberattacks in the network before such attacks can infect, damage or destroy core IT assets.
