TippingPoint (formerly Netpliance), a division of 3Com, is a provider of network-based Intrusion-prevention system. TippingPoint has been pioneering the IPS market since it launched its first network-based intrusion prevention system in 2002, and continuously leads the industry by being first to market with innovative IPS features such as spyware protection and multi-gigabit throughput. TippingPoint is the only intrusion prevention system to offer VoIP security, bandwidth management, peer-to-peer protection, and default "Recommended Settings" to accurately block malicious traffic automatically upon installation without tuning. Prior to entering the IPS market, TippingPoint designed and distributed the low-cost QNX-based embedded PC called I-Opener. The computer's upfront cost was subsidized by ISP service required and offered by the company.
