TippingPoint Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for Network Intrusion Prevention System Appliances Magic Quadrant
TippingPoint, a leader in intrusion prevention, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant in the „Network Intrusion Prevention System Appliances Magic Quadrant?i report.
According to Gartner, “Leaders demonstrate balanced progress and effort in all execution and vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all products in the market, and they can change the course of the industry. To remain leaders, vendors must demonstrate a track record of delivering successfully in enterprise IPS deployments and in winning competitive assessments.
Leaders produce products that provide high signature quality and low latency, are innovating with or ahead of customer challenges (such as using endpoint intelligence to make more-efficient detections) and have a range of models. Leaders continually win selections and are consistently visible on enterprise shortlists. However, a leading vendor is not a default choice for every buyer, and clients should not assume that they must buy only from vendors in the Leaders quadrant.”
“We?re seeing a growing number of customers, that were previously hesitant to implement in-line IPS, now recognizing the requirement for automated in-line security to deal with the evolving threat landscape,” said Alan Kessler, president of TippingPoint. “We are honored to have Gartner recognize us in the Leaders quadrant, and view this as a validation of our fundamental philosophy around in-line deployment and security accuracy as the essential criteria for our vision toward extending IPS into a broader network security services platform.”
