TippingPoint implementation
Our archive's oldest post: a deep-inspection intrusion prevention system (IPS) protecting the platform in 2004 — four years before our SonicWall alliance.
On the protection front, we are now protected by an ASIC-based "UnityOne Intrusion Prevention Systems" IPS that inspects the packet flow across the OSI layers, from layer 2 (data link) to layer 7 (application), with less than 100 microseconds of delay.
The system keeps itself updated automatically to deal with the latest vulnerabilities, exploits and viruses.

Today, in 2026
Twenty-two years on, perimeter security is still the first layer of our architecture — today with SonicWall, of which we have been a CSSA-certified partner — its official technical accreditation — since 2008.
