Trend Micro TippingPoint Threat Protection System is an inline network detection and response (NDR) solution that functions as a next-generation intrusion prevention system (NGIPS). The system performs real-time blocking of inbound, outbound, and lateral threats through inline enforcement and deep packet inspection. The platform operates in high-throughput environments with multi-gigabit performance capabilities, including 100 Gbps throughput in a 1U form factor. It uses flow-based deep packet inspection to analyze network traffic and identify threats. TippingPoint integrates with Trend Vision One, an AI-powered cybersecurity platform that provides extended detection and response (XDR), attack surface discovery, and risk-informed workflows. This integration enables unified telemetry, alert prioritization, and automated response capabilities. The system receives threat intelligence through Digital Vaccine filters powered by the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), which provides protection against vulnerabilities before vendor patches become available. Virtual patching capabilities allow for real-time remediation of vulnerabilities. The solution offers centralized management through the TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) and supports flexible deployment models across data centers and network edges. Hardware features include hot-swappable components and zero-power high availability (ZPHA) configurations. TippingPoint provides visibility into users, applications, and traffic patterns across the network environment. The platform supports pay-as-you-grow licensing models for scalability.
