Product/Service: TippingPoint NAC Policy Server and Enforcer
Vendor: TippingPoint
Hardware or Software? Hardware
First Launched: March 2008
What it does? The TippingPoint NAC Policy Server is the TippingPoint NAC solution central manager. It holds the main NAC database, interfaces to external back office systems such as LDAP or Active Directory, serves as a RADIUS server for authentication requests, provides logic to determine network policy, and provides the administrative user interface. The TippingPoint NAC Policy Enforcer is an in-line appliance that provides access control enforcement based on user and device criteria. It allows network administrators to designate access rules based on user identity and device type, rather than traditional port based segmentation that may only restrict by location.
“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services. TippingPoint’s innovative approach of combining their NAC solution and inline intrusion prevention (IPS) gives security personnel unprecedented abilities to automatically enforce network access and security policies across all users, devices, traffic flows and content.”

Performance Throughput: Concurrent usage up to 10,000 endpoints
Key Features and Benefits: TippingPoint NAC interoperates with TippingPoint’s Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to ensure malicious traffic from any connected endpoint is blocked, and noncompliant traffic triggers policy-controlled actions including blocking, quarantining, alerting or rate-shaping. This layered security approach provides unprecedented control to automatically enforce network access and security policies across all users, devices, traffic flows and content.
TippingPoint NAC provides an endless variety of configuration and deployment options. Organizations can start small with simple deployments in highly exposed or less critical network segments and expand incrementally.
