| TippingPoint Protects Customers from Microsoft Vulnerabilities TippingPoint has announced that its TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) provided complete protection against the vulnerabilities disclosed in all the bulletins announced by Microsoft. The two most significant vulnerabilities were found in Microsoft's Exchange Server, which is widely deployed around the world, and in the Macromedia Flash Player installed by default on many Windows systems. TippingPoint devices were inoculated against these threats through the Digital Vaccine service, a remote update service that provides protection against the latest threats. TippingPoint provides vulnerability protection in the form of "Virtual Software Patches" to preemptively protect customers against exploits, malware and worms. The TippingPoint IPS provides protection for the following security bulletins announced by Microsoft: (1) MS06-018 Vulnerability in Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Could Allow Denial of Service (Rating: Moderate) (2) MS06-019 Vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange Could Allow Remote Code Execution (Rating: Critical) (3) MS06-020 Vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe Could Allow Remote Code Execution (Rating: Critical). write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
