First IPSec VPN Client for Microsoft Windows XP 64 Bit Is Now Available for Larger Installations

Market Wire, March, 2008

NCP Engineering GmbH releases version 9.03 of its Secure Enterprise Client. The most important feature is support for the Windows XP operating system in its 64 bit mode. Thereby, NCP is rounding off the client tender with manageable Enterprise variants. The Enterprise VPN solution offers all the functionality that distinguishes an integrated remote-access solution.

Next to Windows 2000, the NCP Secure Enterprise Client also supports Microsoft Windows Vista and XP for 32 and 64 bit. NCP VPN clients are also delivered for Windows Mobile, CE, Linux and Symbian. In its interplay with the NCP Secure Enterprise Management and the NCP High AvailabilityServices, the solution fulfills all the requirements of modern identity and access management. The centrally administrable Secure Enterprise Client operates via Endpoint Policy Enforcement for monitoring the centrally provided security policy and using strong authentication. It fulfills the increasing compliance requirements for a transparent and revision-secure control of network access. Devices that do not conform remain in a quarantine zone. "Friendly net detection" automatically recognizes secure and insecure networks.

In addition the software has a bandwidth management feature to ensure the required Quality-of-Service (QoS) for voice-over-IP or video data.

In addition to VPN tunneling the most important integrated components are: data encryption, a dynamic personal firewall, support of OTP (One-Time Password tokens) and certificates in a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). Policies for ports, IP addresses and segments, as well as applications can be defined via the Personal Firewall. An additional safety criterion is "Friendly Net Detection," i.e. automatic detection of secure and non-secure networks. All configurations can be entered centrally by the administrator and parameters can be set so that configurations cannot be changed by the user.
