NCP engineering Wins Network Products Guide 2009 Best Products and Services Award

BOSTON, MA- NCP engineering
GmbH today announced that Network Products Guide, the industry's
leading publication on information technologies and solutions, has named
the NCP Secure Enterprise Solution winner of the 2009 Best Products and
Services Award for remote access. This respected annual award honors
products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and
interests of the end-users of technology worldwide.

The winning
solution consists of the NCP
Secure Enterprise Management System, NCP Secure Enterprise Server (VPN gateway) and
the IPSec NCP Secure Enterprise
Client. Each component integrates fully with all Cisco, Juniper, Check
Point, SonicWall and other major vendor equipment, preserving existing
technology investments for customers. Full NAC support and management is
also provided with the installation of the complete enterprise system.

The NCP Secure Enterprise Management System

A centrally-controlled software solution provides network administrators
with a single point of administration for a company's entire IPSec and SSL
VPN network, as well as full NAC management. All status information is made
graphically available on the system monitor in real time, and plug-in
updates and configuration settings can be easily controlled and
distributed. User data can be imported via standardized interfaces from
existing directory services and identity and access management systems
(IAM). Built-in transition software ensures redundancy systems guarantee
high availability of the management system, avoiding costly downtime and
loss of policy settings.

The NCP Secure Enterprise Server

A hybrid IPSec and SSL gateway controls and monitors all VPN connections to
and from the central data network. It offers high availability clustering
to maintain network performance speeds and allows administrators to run up
to 10,000 concurrent SSL sessions. Unique to NCP is the multi-company
support (VPN gateway sharing). This performance feature allows a very
economic VPN operation since the VPNs of several companies can be
administered simultaneously using only one system. The NCP Secure
Enterprise Server supports the industry's widest variety of endpoint
platforms and any IPSec-based device, including the iPhone.

The NCP Secure Enterprise Client

A bundled client, personal firewall and dialer provide the most secure
endpoint connection for the industry's widest array of platforms, including
Windows-based (Mobile 5/6x, CE, XP/Vista 32/64-bit, 7 beta), Symbian (S60
3rd Edition) and Linux-based operating systems. The universally-adaptable
IPSec client is seamlessly compatible with any gateway on the market. The
user-friendly GUI and intelligent policy enforcement provide even
non-technical users with a one-click VPN. The client's latest features
include Wireless Service Provider Roaming (WISPr) and streamlined Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Card support, and a budget manager
for wireless minutes.
