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

NUREMBERG, GERMANY, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
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.
