TippingPoint Security Management System

The TippingPoint Security Management System is an enterprise-class management platform that provides administration, configuration, monitoring and reporting for multiple TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems. It is a zero-install rack mountable appliance that features a state-of-the-art client interface.

The SMS features customizable access control levels for operator (read-only), admin and supervisor privileges. It enables "big picture" analysis with trending reports, correlation and real-time graphs - including reports on Traffic Statistics, Filtered Attacks, Network Hosts and Services and TippingPoint IPS Inventory and Health.

Because the TippingPoint SMS provides a scalable, policy-based operational model, it enables straightforward management of large scale IPS deployments. A typical network-wide TippingPoint deployment consists of SMS Clients (secure Java), a centralized Security Management System (SMS) and multiple TippingPoint IPS systems.

The SMS dashboard provides at-a-glance monitors, with launch capabilities into the targeted management applications that provide global command and control of TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems.
