NCP Engineering Releases VPN Client for Symbian OS-Based Mobile Devices


NUREMBERG, Germany, July 31 /PRNewswire/ --     NCP engineering GmbH, a leading provider of endpoint security and VPN
solutions, today announced the release of its Secure Entry Client for Symbian
OS-based mobile devices. The new IPSec VPN client can be used on mobile
devices such as the Nokia Eseries, which run Symbian OS from V.9.0 on S60 3rd
Edition.

The bundled product provides a single solution that integrates data
encryption, a dynamic personal firewall, Friendly Net Detection, and one-time
password token and certificate support through a public key infrastructure
(PKI). The dynamic firewall allows customers to set policies for ports, IP
addresses and segments, as well as applications. The Friendly Net Detection,
created by NCP engineering, forces the network to identify itself to the
device, preventing any data packet transfer until a safe network has been
detected. The NCP Secure Entry Client also has an PC configuration assistant
for the mobile device, an intuitive graphical user interface on the mobile
end device and a secure, automatic VPN set-up.

Like all of the company's VPN solutions, the NCP Secure Entry Client for
Symbian can communicate with VPN gateways from different manufacturers and is
ideal for use in remote access VPN environments. NCP also offers a Secure
Enterprise Client for Symbian, which was released in April 2008 and provides
centrally-administered, endpoint policy enforcement.

A 30-day trial version offering unrestricted use of the entry product is
available for download at: http://www.ncp-e.com/en/downloads/software.html.
The software can be purchased via NCP's e-store and from the company's sales
partners.
