TPS is obtained directly from the vendor of the existing end point protection.
TippingPoint (TPS) provides an added layer of physical protection by inspecting and blocking all network traffic, both inbound and outbound, against unknown vulnerabilities. Combining Vision One’s threat intelligence from various sources and TippingPoint’s real-time threat analysis allows for earlier detection of cyber threats, leading to more efficient incident response times.

Streamlining Trend Micro Vision Ones automated incident response capabilities with TippingPoint’s threat prevention ensures quick and efficient handling of security incidents.
