October 1, 2006 (HOSTSEARCH.COM) Web hosting provider WebDevel (http://www.webdevel.us) has upgraded security for its web hosting packages by deploying TippingPoint. TippingPoint is an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that blocks malicious attacks. The system scans traffic and determines whether data packets are malicious based on a set of rules it operates by.
