Dual bypass module and methods thereof

A dual bypass module for managing an integrated secured network environment, comprising:

• a set of network ports, said set of network ports including a set of input network ports for receiving data traffic and a set of output network ports for outputting said data traffic from said network device;
• a set of monitoring ports, said set of monitoring ports being configured for transmitting said data traffic between said dual bypass module and a set of monitoring systems;
• a set of relays configured for controlling the flow of data through said dual bypass module;
• and
• a configurable integrated circuit, said configurable integrated circuit including at least one of
• a first logic arrangement for determining conditions of said set of monitoring systems,
• a second logic arrangement for redirecting said data traffic through a secured alternate path when a monitoring system of said set of monitoring systems is unavailable;
• and
• a third logic arrangement for redirecting said data traffic through a secured alternate path when a communication path becomes unavailable.
