Conover, NC (October 15, 2007) – Network Integrity Systems is pleased to announce the release of a software upgrade to the INTERCEPTOR™ Optical Network Security System.

Software Version 2.3 advances the INTERCEPTOR system's patent pending Smart Filtering™ algorithms to further enhance the system's ability to automatically learn the environment and discern between hostile and benign events. By leveraging the Smart Filtering™ technology, INTERCEPTOR virtually eliminates the problems with nuisance alarms that plagued older alarmed carrier products and technologies. In addition, INTERCEPTOR now has the capability of protecting a fiber optic network while simultaneously conducting a new or periodic auto-configuration cycle to update the Smart Filtering parameters - optimizing the performance of INTERCEPTOR for the specific network on which it is installed and protecting. Finally, several enhancements have been made which provide increased Ethernet security features and functionality consistent with the changing requirements of DoD, DHS, C41SR agencies, etc.

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 a 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) special 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. 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.
