INTERCEPTOR NX™: Purpose-Built for Superior Functionality in Classified Network Security

Written by Amanda Hetzel | Apr 30, 2025 12:42:35 PM

For over two decades, U.S. Government and Military networks have relied on INTERCEPTOR, the industry benchmark for securing classified infrastructure.  Purpose-built specifically for the unique demands of classified network security, INTERCEPTORNX offers real-time threat detection and unmatched reliability, all in compliance with CNSSI 7003. While lookalikes exist, these multi-purpose tools lack the precision and specialization of INTERCEPTORNX. When the mission demands absolute accuracy, only INTERCEPTORNX delivers the sharp, uncompromising performance needed to protect the most sensitive communications.  

What Sets INTERCEPTORNX Apart?

True innovation means delivering superior functionality—not just keeping up. Here’s why INTERCEPTOR remains the trusted leader:

    • Purpose-built exclusively for U.S. Government Protected Distribution System (PDS) applications, featuring detection algorithms specifically tailored for U.S. Government networks. This solution is not available for commercial sale or to foreign governments.

    • Superior Optical Performance – Patented point-to-multipoint design options improve cost efficiency by reducing the number of required interrogator ports.

    • Patented Smart Capabilities including Auto-configuration and Smart Filter Detect™ (SFD) prevent false alarms, reducing operational disruptions. Using advanced algorithms, it analyzes real-time conditions and adjusts without requiring manual intervention.

NIS offers a broad, fully integrated product portfolio that complete the solution and ensure CNSSI 7003 Compliance —with most products conceived, designed, engineered, tested, and supported entirely by NIS, including all firmware and software development.

INSIGHT – User Friendly and Customizable Alarm Management & Response Software

INSIGHT™ is a sophisticated alarm response and management application crafted to effortlessly integrate with the INTERCEPTORNX and other systems, delivering a thorough and effective security management solution. INSIGHT is developed from the ground up in compliance with US Government STIGs and an unrelenting focus on security.

Additionally, we offer INTERLINK™, a distinct feature set within INSIGHT. INTERLINK is designed for clients who already have an alarm response infrastructure, allowing for the seamless integration of various sensors into their existing system, and it can operate independently of INSIGHT. This facilitates the integration process, ensuring a seamless transition and optimizing the value of your current security investments.

Ancillary Purpose-Built Products That Complete the Solution and Ensure CNSSI 7003 Compliance

  • INTERCEPTOR™ AFFIRM Automated Sensor Verification System is an integral component of the INTERCEPTORNX Alarmed Carrier PDS solution. Engineered to automate the essential periodic testing of the system, INTERCEPTOR AFFIRM seamlessly integrates with our INSIGHT, conducting automatic tests for each zone without any human intervention.

  • INTERCEPTOR™ ECLIPSE Data Shutoff System, integrates with INSIGHT to disable data when an intrusion attempt is detected. This feature enhances security and assists with alarm responses outside of regular business hours.

Unlike competitive products that incorporate the functions of INTERCEPTOR AFFIRM and INTERCEPTOR ECLIPSE into one device, we have designed them as separate products with different fail-safes so the security of your data is never in question. 



The Trusted Choice for Mission-Critical Security

INTERCEPTORNX isn’t just a security solution—it sets the gold standard in classified and critical network protection. Designed and manufactured in the USA with patented innovations that maximize efficiency, eliminate false alarms, and reduce infrastructure costs, NIS continues to lead the industry in safeguarding mission-critical communications.
