Network Integrity Systems Enhances INTERCEPTOR™ Capabilities to Support 10 Gig Ethernet

11/1/2006

Conover, N.C., November 1, 2006 - Network Integrity Systems Inc's. Interceptor™ fiber optic network intrusion detection system is now available in a version to support the 10 Gig Ethernet standard.  According to Joseph Giovannini, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Network Integrity Systems, the 10G capable models will not be sold at a price premium so network owners planning to upgrade to 10G in the future can install Interceptor" today with the knowledge that they havent spent more than is necessary and that their alarmed carrier system will not need to be replaced when they are ready to upgrade.

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.
