INTERCEPTORT Selected by the United States Department of Homeland Security

11/1/2006


Conover, N.C., November 1, 2006 - Network Integrity Systems Inc's. Interceptor™ fiber optic network intrusion detection system has been selected by the US Department of Homeland Security to protect critical network infrastructure against the potential for illicit tapping as well as insure the availability of critical information.

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 offer no warning when a fiber is damaged or degrading.  Interceptor" is compatible with all optical fiber types and Ethernet standards including 10 Gig, and since it is a Layer-One device it does not create any bandwidth bottlenecks or restrictions.
