When TippingPoint identifies new attacks or improves methods of detecting
existing attacks, the TMC makes the updates available to customers in the form
of
software packages. Software packages are upgrades to your IPS operating system.
DV
filter packages contain newly developed attack, peer-to-peer, and anomaly filters
along
with improvements to existing filters.
Through the Devices screen, you can check for update notifications for the
TOS. The SMS client allows you to download and store the
TOS files on the system. The packages display on their
own screens providing quick review of which devices have received the updates.
You can
also distribute the updates from each page. The TMC notifies you that new packages
are
available on the Dashboard.
The following table defines the TOS Inventory details.
The Distribution Progress table provides information on distribution status of
