4N-Platform Hardware Installation and Safety Guide
System overview
The TippingPoint system is a high-speed, comprehensive security system that includes the Intrusion
Prevention System (IPS), Local Security Manager (LSM), Digital Vaccine, the Security Management System
Appliance, and the Core Controller.
Enterprise security schemes once consisted of a conglomeration of disparate, static devices from multiple
vendors. Today, TippingPoint’s security system provides the advantages of a single, integrated, highly
adaptive security system that includes powerful hardware and an intuitive management interface.
This topic includes the following information:
•TippingPoint architecture on page 4
TippingPoint architecture
The TippingPoint System uses a flexible architecture that consists of a Java-based SMS client, SMS
Management Server, IPS device(s), and Local Clients including the Local Security Manager (LSM) and
Command Line Interface (CLI).
The system may also include the Core Controller, a hardware appliance that balances traffic loads for one or
more IPSes. The following diagram provides an overview of the architecture:
