Network Integrity Systems develops best-in-class solutions
for the physical protection of fiber optic networks. At the foundation of the product line lies the INTERCEPTOR™
Optical Network Security System.
Developed in part with DoD funding and designed specifically for information assurance and IT security applications, INTERCEPTOR leads the next generation of alarm carrier protected distribution systems (PDS) and fully meets the requirements of NSTISSI 7003. Incorporating Intrinsic Fiber Monitoring™ technology, INTERCEPTOR provides the most reliable and cost effective solution for physical security of SIPRNet and JWICS networks.
Unlike older generation alarm carrier solutions adapted from perimeter security systems, which use a separate (extrinsic) proprietary sensing fiber to monitor the cable pathway for acoustic vibrations, INTERCEPTOR technology monitors dark (unused) or active (data carrying) fibers within the cable being protected to detect motion and manipulation of the cable as well as the cable pathway itself. This difference results in fail-safe, nuisance-free monitoring and the ability to scale protection to match the level of classification and/or threats to the network.
INTERCEPTOR works with any optical cable type and is compatible with all Ethernet standards including 10Gigabit.  Since it is purely a physical layer device and does not touch the data, unlike encryption, INTERCEPTOR does not create any bandwidth bottlenecks. With plug-and-play capability, INTERCEPTOR can be rapidly added to existing network infrastructure making migration from NIPRNet to SIPRNet quick and cost effective.
