whitepaper Integrated Edge Security Improves Media Company's Network Security and Performance2007-09-05 Microsoft
  Arvato Systems provides communication services for parent company Bertelsmann, a worldwide media corporation. The company needed to give remote employees more secure access to Web-based applications, but its firewall solution could not deliver application-level protection. The company also could not ensure consistent remote access to messaging because the high volume of connection requests overwhelmed the network. For network protection and stability, Arvato Systems implemented a solution based on Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, part of the Microsoft Forefront line of business security products. Now employees have better remote access to applications and data, and the company has a more protected IT environment with application-level security. The security solution is also easy to maintain, resulting in better network stability and enhanced productivity.

whitepaper Firewall Security Pays Dividends for Arizona Financial Institution2007-08-10 Microsoft
  Round-the-clock banking has become a standard expectation among customers, compelling most financial institutions to expand their banking services to include online delivery. Arizona State Savings & Credit Union (AZSTCU) was anxious to capitalize on that trend, but not before it could ensure the security of its online transactions and strong protection for its internal network. It deployed Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server because ISA offers granular control over incoming and outgoing traffic, disguises internal server IP addresses to external users, and controls and documents who can access the Internet from its internal network. As a result, AZSTCU has been able to prevent attacks, reduce business costs, and expand its market reach with little incremental cost.

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 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 ING DIRECT Banks on Sprint to Deliver Continuously Reliable, Secure Service2006-09-09 01:00:12 Sprint
  This case study discusses how Sprint, powered by Cisco Systems, provides a secure and reliable solution for Wide Area Networking for INC Direct Bank, which primarily does business over the Internet and remotely over the phone in a 24x7 mode. Any service outages severely affect ING Bank's business model, so their requirement was to find a highly responsive and trusted partner with a network that was IP based, isolated from the public Internet, and highly reliable but would provide business continuity in case of natural disasters or external events affecting the network. With Sprint, ING Bank found a consultant and partner with a private IP network that provides the high level of responsiveness, integrity, and security they required. Also Sprint provided value-added managed security services at affordable cost, which allowed them to keep their own operational costs low--and pass savings on to their customers.
