NCP engineering Enhances Windows 10 VPN Clients with Newly Added Security Features
NCP
engineering today announced new versions of its Windows-compatible
VPN clients. Key improvements to the updated Enterprise, Entry and
Juniper editions feature will make it easier for Windows users to
connect remotely to corporate networks, with greater control over the
security and stability of connections.
Support for software installation has been improved, as the clients are
now available through an easy-to-use Windows installer (MSI (News - Alert)). With an
additional connection mode, the updated Windows clients will
automatically seek and establish VPN connections, a feature especially
useful for Windows 8.1 tablet users. The updated clients are also fully
optimized for IKEv2 configuration, and support elliptical curve
cryptography (ECC) to safeguard VPN connections.
Enterprises can purchase the latest Windows clients from NCP's
network of reseller partners and distributors.
Key Facts
-
NCP's Windows-compatible Enterprise and Entry clients are compatible
with all common VPN gateways (such as those from Cisco, Juniper,
WatchGuard, Checkpoint and Microsoft (News - Alert) Server 2008 R2) and major
communications and security standards including elliptic curve
cryptography (ECC), Internet Key Exchange (IKE) v1 and 2, PKCS#12
certificate support, XAUTH and split and full tunneling. When used
with NCP's VPN gateway, its recently patented Path
Finder technology ensures that the VPN connection can be
established in challenging firewall and proxy settings
-
The updated version of the NCP
Secure Enterprise Client for Windows streamlines the network
administrator's experience and eliminates the possibility of incrrect
configuration by ensuring that if the client is not in regular
communication with the NCP Secure
Enterprise Management (SEM) solution, it cannot connect until its
security is verified. NCP's centrally managed Secure Enterprise Client
for Windows can be used in conjunction with the NCP Secure Enterprise
Management (SEM) 3.0 system.
-
The NCP
Secure Client - Juniper Edition for Windows 32-/64-bit operating
systems is specifically tailored to help enterprises seamlessly
connect to Juniper VPN gateways with Junos or NetscreenOS operating
systems. Using the IPsec VPN client and the local license server,
companies are able to easily migrate large numbers of users with
Juniper's end-of-life Netscreen-Remote VPN Client to the latest
version of NCP's Juniper-compatible client.
