The Cisco PIX 535 Unrestricted (PIX 535-UR), unrestricted software license model, extends the
capabilities of the security appliance with support for stateful failover, additional LAN interfaces,
and increased VPN throughput via integrated hardware-based VPN acceleration. It includes an
integrated VAC or VAC+ hardware VPN accelerator, 1 GB of RAM, two 10/100 Fast Ethernet
interfaces, and support for up to eight additional 10/100 Fast Ethernet or nine Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces. The Cisco PIX 535-UR also adds the ability to share state information with a hot-standby
Cisco PIX Security Appliance for resilient network protection.
TippingPoint’s Unity One
The Planet has upgraded its existing intrusion detection system to TippingPoint’s Unity One 2400
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). TippingPoint is a robust, high-performance IPS that is highly
scalable – can easily grow with The Planet – and is able to filter a very high volume of traffic with
virtually no network latency – no network delay – while performing thousands of simultaneous
checks on each packet flow.
TippingPoint was the only participant granted the prestigious NSS Gold Award by the NSS Group,
the world’s foremost network and security testing organization, in their first comprehensive security
and performance tests for IPS systems in January 2004.
TippingPoint is deployed between the Internet routers and each Data Center to provide deep packet
filtering of all network traffic entering or leaving The Planet (except MatriXtreme) to remove
malicious, unwanted traffic before it is routed to customer networks. TippingPoint’s Digital Vaccine
Service combines signature-based detection of known attacks – from a library of thousands of
known signatures – with complex filtering mechanisms that detect protocol, application and
statistical anomalies. The Vaccine delivers new filters on a weekly, or sometimes daily, basis to
maintain protection for the latest vulnerabilities, exploits, viruses and rogue applications.
TippingPoint prevents the identified malicious traffic from entering the network and being passed
on to the client’s server.
With TippingPoint, The Planet is delivering:
C A high-end security system that might be prohibitively expensive to purchase independently.
C Highly trained Planet engineers to stay on top of intelligence reports and announcements of
threats to data security, and to quickly test and implement needed patches and upgrades.
C A Security Operations Center (SOC) that proactively monitors for security threats and
escalates potential security problems to an experienced team of GIAC and CISSP certified
security engineers. Working together, the SOC and Security Engineering teams provide real-
time security incident response services and notify clients before attacks result in server
compromise or downtime.
The TippingPoint reporting service is being integrated into The Planet’s Orbit™ customer portal.
