BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/17/09 -- NCP engineering GmbH today announced the availability of a single software IPsec VPN client that provides users with seamless connectivity for all 32/64-bit Windows 7, Vista or XP operating systems. Version 9.2 of the NCP Secure Entry Client is the only VPN client that provides users with an integrated dialer, personal firewall and 32/64-bit VPN connection, and the ease of a 'one-click and forget it' experience. Complete integration between NCP's VPN client and any third-party IPsec gateway reduces help desk calls and administrative complexity by automatically importing settings, profiles and certificates.

The new version of the NCP Secure Entry Client includes an intuitive interface that even non-technical users can understand, data encryption, Friendly Net Detection, and one-time password token and certificate support through a public key infrastructure (PKI). It can also be integrated with network access control (NAC) features to ensure highly secure access to central data networks.
