Marketing description

The NCP Secure Entry Client for Windows operating systems is a communication software product for universal implementation in any remote access VPN environment. The teleworker works transparently and securely at any location (mobile or stationary) in the same manner as in his/her office within the corporate environment. Highly secure data connections to VPN gateways from all well-known suppliers can be established using IPsec standards. Independent of Microsoft remote data transmission dialer, the connection can be set up via any type of network (wire networks, wireless networks, LAN, Wi-Fi and Internet). Clients can be used to access to company data networks and applications from any location. At a mobile workplace, Seamless Roaming provides a secure, always-on connection to the corporate network, automatically selecting the fastest medium for access to the Internet. Even if the access point or the IP address changes, Wi-Fi roaming or IPsec roaming maintains the VPN connection. Even behind firewalls whose settings always block IPsec data connections, the NCP Path Finder Technology ensures remote access is available.

Product features

• Security
  The NCP Secure Entry Client offers extensive security mechanisms that prevent attacks in any remote access environment. Hence, it offers comprehensive security of both the end device and the corporate network. This is true, even at hotspots during the logon and logoff process to the Wi-Fi network. In addition to data encryption the most important integrated components are a dynamic personal firewall, support of OTP (OneTime Password tokens) and certificates in a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). Use the personal firewall, which supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, to define policies for ports, IP addresses and segments, as well as applications. An additional safety criterion is "Friendly Net Detection" (location awareness), i.e. automatic detection of secure and non-secure networks. The appropriate firewall rules are activated or deactivated depending on whether a friendly net is detected. The bypass function in the NCP VPN Client allows the IT administrator to configure the client so that certain applications are exempted from the VPN and the data is sent over the Internet even when split tunneling is disabled. This has the advantage that applications such as video streaming no longer overwhelm the server with terabytes of data. The Multi Certificate Support feature enables VPN connections to various companies, each which demand a user certificate of its own.
• Usability and profitability
  The NCP Secure Entry Client is simple to install and simple to operate. A graphical, intuitive user interface provides information on all connection and security states. Detailed log information paves the road for effective assistance from the help desk. The "automatic media detection" feature automatically selects the fastest communication medium available. A configuration wizard simplifies the set up of connection profiles. Integrated support of Mobile Connect Cards for WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) as well as WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network) applies, without restriction, for all the Windows operating systems supported. The system automatically configures mobile data connections using information from the current SIM Card and the corresponding provider (APN Access Point Name). Through that, it is easy to use inexpensive, local providers abroad.
