Company history

Network Intercept is a privately held company dedicated to keeping your business safe from malicious intent on the internet. Founded in 2004, the company has created a series of products to protect businesses as well as individual home users from the known and unknown threats on the internet. There are many solutions out there which claim to protect against the unknown, but only Network Intercept can do so without dependencies on signature updates, which saves significant time and money.

The flagship product, Interceptor.NET was built after company president Christopher Ciabarra experienced the full detonation of a zero-day attack on the company network while work for a major utility company. Ciabarra recognized the devastation and impact on company productivity and understood how this could be avoided with the proper solution in place; Network Intercept was born. Ciabarra left his job to work with a team of security experts to develop a network solution that was easy and less expensive to maintain; this collaboration resulted in the creation of Interceptor.NET.

Network Intercept headquarters are based in Los Angeles, California; the company also maintains offices in NY, San Francisco, and Bangladesh.
