Network Integrity Systems, Inc. and INTERCEPTOR™ Join the Communications Supply Corporation Secure(IT) Alliance

11/1/2006

Conover, N.C., November 1, 2006 - Network Integrity Systems Inc. has announced that they have joined Communications Supply Corporation as a member of their Secure(IT) Alliance.  The Secure(IT) Alliance is a collaboration of leading providers of innovative products and solutions for high-assurance facilities, secure network deployments and information assurance applications, which work together to enhance the security, availability and defense of LAN/WAN networks.  Network Integrity System's contribution to the Secure(IT) Alliance solution suite is the Interceptor™ line of fiber optic network intrusion detection system products.

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.

The Secure(IT) initiative is closely aligned with the Department of Defense's Defense-in-Depth strategy and the increased focus on Information Assurance and cyber-security across both the government and the commercial IT community.  Mr. Lee Osterman, CSC's General Manager of Federal Sales & Marketing, stated, The Interceptor™ Fiber Security System is an innovative new product that is a tremendous enabler for cost-effective secure network deployments.  By monitoring fibers INSIDE of secure network cabling, Interceptor™ can be leveraged to protect BOTH new and existing fiber optic cables providing an unparalleled level of protection and flexibility.
