TippingPoint Integration
Tipping point and Reflex Systems have partnered to provide security for virtual data center. The partnership integrates Reflex's Virtualization Management Center (VMC) solution with TippingPoint's industry-leading Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), to provide customers with comprehensive security, visibility and performance across both physical and virtual network infrastructures.
TippingPoint has introduced a Secure Virtual Framework that supports Separation of Duties (SOD) between operations and network/security teams, and enables security teams to monitor vSwitch and VM changes to identify tampering or disablement of security controls. In addition, it is upgradeable and compatible with full Reflex VMC, providing complete visibility and control over their entire virtual infrastructure.
As part of its recently launched TippingPoint Virtual Controller (vController), TippingPoint will use Reflex Systems' vTrust ™ technology to enable more sophisticated segmentation (virtual trust zones), policy enforcement, as well as monitoring, filtering and control of VM-to-VM traffic. vTrust also takes advantage of VMware's VMsafe API to deliver a more granular level of visibility and control into communication within the VMware virtual environment.
The fully integrated TippingPoint & Reflex VMC enable enterprises to
- Extend TippingPoint's industry-leading threat research capabilities, breadth of protection, ease-of-use, and automation capabilities to include virtual infrastructure
- Enable TippingPoint customers to extend their existing processes, methodologies, tools and knowledge to secure their virtual infrastructure
- Provide unmatched management, visibility and control on internal virtual networks
- Deliver automatic discovery and graphical mapping of virtual infrastructure topology

TippingPoint vController was honored with the Best of Interop 2010 award for security.
