First IPSec VPN Client for Microsoft Windows XP 64 bit is Now Available for Larger Installations

NUREMBERG, Germany, March 31 /PRNewswire/ --     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.
