NIS Interceptor Fiber Security System Added to the US Air Force CTAA Approved Product List for PDS Alarm Systems

11/1/2006

Conover, N.C., November 1, 2006 - Network Integrity Systems Incs. Interceptor fiber optic network intrusion detection system has been added to the US Air Force CTAA (Certified Tempest Approval Authority) Approved Product List for PDS (Protected Distribution System) Alarm Systems.   According to Joseph Giovannini, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Network Integrity Systems, Since its invention, there has been a strong interest in the Interceptor" system as it solves critical deficiencies present in earlier generation PDS alarm systems included on the USAF list.  With the addition of Interceptor" to the approved list, the US Military now has access to the state-of-the-art solution to enhance the security, availability and defense of LAN/WAN networks.

 

Developed in part with DoD funding and designed specifically for communication network security applications, Interceptor" is a best-in-class device which meets the requirements for protection of secure networks against physical intrusion as set forth in NSTISSI 7003, Protective Distribution Systems, as well as NSTISSI 3215, Intrusion Detection Optical Communications Systems (IDOCS).  Interceptor" provides the most cost effective and fail-safe solution for physical security of optical networks as it is capable of monitoring both dark (inactive) fibers, as well as active (data carrying) fibers within the cable being protected.   Older generation alarm carrier solutions rely upon monitoring a separate sensing fiber, independent of the cable being protected, which can be easily defeated by a clever intruder and offers no warning when a fiber is damaged or degrading.  Interceptor" is compatible with all optical fiber types and Ethernet standards, and since it is a Layer-One device it does not create any bandwidth bottlenecks or restrictions.
