whitepaper NCsoft's North American Installation Completes Global Deployment of TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  When NCsoft opened its North American division, it confronted a host of security challenges. NCsoft (North America) had to defend the converged Gigabit network at its Austin, TX base against viruses, spyware, zero-day threats, and other malicious traffic. It required safeguards for the applications, mail servers and videoconferencing systems used for game development and administrative tasks. Around the world, NCsoft uses Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS's) from TippingPoint, a division of 3Com to secure its corporate offices and public web sites.   
whitepaper TippingPoint at Discovery Communications2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  Discovery Communications Inc. is the leading global real-world media and entertainment company. Discovery Communications needed a way to protect its infrastructure and servers against the inherent threats to which a company with a global and mobile workforce of 5,000 staff is susceptible. TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) was implemented as the solution.   
whitepaper Northern Europe's Leading Emergency Hospital Secures Patient Care With TippingPoint's Intrusion Prevention System2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  Northern Europe's largest emergency care center, the Stockholm-based institution relies on powerful networked technologies to treat 90,000 emergency-room patients each year, as well as 380,000 in-patients. Several years ago, the Nimda virus struck the facility's network, forcing the hospital to confront the vulnerability of its life-saving medical services to on-line threats. To safeguard its operations, hospital administrators sought an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) able to defend against malicious traffic entering or leaving the network without restricting legitimate medical data and messaging. After carefully reviewing available technologies, the hospital selected an IPS from TippingPoint, a division of 3Com.   
whitepaper DiscountASP.NET Wards Off DoS Threats & 10 Million Online Attacks With TippingPoint Protecting Its Customers2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  In May 2005, a distributed Denial of Service (DoS) attack targeted one of the many Web sites that DiscountASP.NET hosts. The attack flooded the site's server with unwanted packets, against which the firewalls were ineffective. The surge in traffic crippled not just the site, but also the entire server. As result, the sites of hundreds of other clients were also incapacitated as users were unable to access their Web pages or conduct transactions. To thwart the attacks, DiscountASP.NET contacted vendors of intrusion prevention and DoS protection solutions, such as Mazu Networks, Foundry Networks and TippingPoint, a division of 3Com. TippingPoint responded promptly and offered its TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), the most decorated IPS on the market.   
whitepaper Hawaii Safeguards Schools Statewide Using Intrusion Protection Systems From TippingPoint2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  In 2004, officials at the Hawaii Department Of Education (HIDOE), the oldest public school system west of the Mississippi, confronted what school districts nationwide dread. The notorious Blaster worm struck the local area network (LAN) of one of its 275 K-12 schools and spread like wildfire across the district's Wide Area Network (WAN). The attack was a costly lesson. HIDOE's schools rely heavily on its wired and wireless LAN/WAN infrastructure for teaching and administration, and the statewide school district could not afford another attack. After dismissing anti-virus software solutions because of their ineffectiveness against spyware and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, HIDOE assessed Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) from McAfee, Juniper Networks and TippingPoint, a division of 3Com.   
whitepaper Secure Converged 3Com Gigabit and Wireless Network Blocks 2.5 Million Attacks for State College2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  At North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS), 2,500 students pursue Associate Degrees in virtually every commercial technology under the motto "Learn by Doing." To continue to deliver secure, reliable, high-speed network services to a growing number of campus and remote students, NDSCS sought a more scalable Gigabit switching solution, a more resilient wireless infrastructure and a proven Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). NDSCS put its network upgrade requirements out to bid under North Dakota state procurement policies. After reviewing market offerings, the college selected a secure converged solution based on 3Com Gigabit core switches, 3Com wireless switches and IPS from TippingPoint, a division of 3Com.   
whitepaper Paragon Biomedical Secures Clinical Data Via TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  Since 1989, Paragon Biomedical has provided clinical trials management services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, delivering highly sensitive medical data between its U.S. based headquarters in Irvine, California and its offices in the United Kingdom and India. To maintain the trust of its clients and comply with the demands of ensuring the privacy of medical information, the company must continually evaluate the security of its network. This represented a particular challenge for Paragon Biomedical because of the multiple demands and users on its existing system. When Paragon Biomedical learned of the industry-leading IPS solutions TippingPoint had to offer, it decided to test the product on its network.   
whitepaper Southern California University Turns Back Denial of Service Attacks With TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  Deploying its first network in 1999 brought University of Redlands a lot more than connectivity to support its 5,000 faculty, students and staff. It also triggered the onset of crippling Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that compromised the Southern California liberal arts and sciences institution's academic research and communications. With its firewalls clearly unable to combat the DoS threats, the Redlands IT department sought an alternative solution that would provide the comprehensive and pervasive protection it required, but with one important caveat. The security solution also had to interoperate seamlessly with the university's Cisco Gigabit network. The IT department learned of the TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) from 3Com.   
whitepaper Renowned Hearing Institute Bolsters Collaboration and Care With Secure, Converged Enterprise Solution2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  Until recently the House Ear Institute (HEI) relied on a 10/100 Ethernet headquarters network that lacked the speed researchers needed to transfer files between offices and other research centers, resulting in bottle necks that hampered staff's productivity. In addition, the voicemail system integrated with the institute's legacy Nortel Meridian PBX system could not support increasing call volumes at the institute and clinics. At first, HEI considered upgrading its existing PBX system, but the option was cost-prohibitive. HEI evaluated product offerings - including the expertise to manage its entire implementation, from deployment to training - from numerous vendors, narrowing the field to 3Com, Cisco and Nortel.   
whitepaper TippingPoint at Sara Lee2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  Sara Lee Corp. is a global manufacturer and marketer of apparel, food and food service products for consumers throughout the world. It has operations in 58 countries and markets branded products in nearly 200 nations. Nasty virus outbreaks at Sara Lee motivated the company to try an intrusion detection system. The company tried Snort, but found it too labor intensive for such a widespread and diverse network, prompting it to seek a simple to use commercial IPS. The company selected TippingPoint for the solution.
