NCP engineering Enhances Windows VPN Client and Gateway to Boost Enterprise Security and Remote Access Performance
New Product Versions Feature Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Improved Throughput to Optimise Data Encryption and Users’ Network Connections
NCP engineering today announced that it has made new versions of its Windows-compatible IPsec VPN client suite and hybrid IPsec / SSL VPN gateway available to the channel. The key features in version 9.32 of the NCP Secure Enterprise Client and version 8.11 of the NCP Secure Enterprise VPN Server were designed to help enterprise customers yield a higher level of security, while ensuring maximum performance during remote access sessions.
NCP’s VPN client suite and gateway now come equipped with support for elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to safeguard VPN connections. Public-key cryptography based on EEC currently offer both, higher security and better performance compared to RSA. ECC is supported for certificate based authentication using PKCS#12, PKCS#11 (e.g. TCOS 3.0 V2 SmartCards) and CSP (CNG).
To further boost remote access performance, the NCP Secure Enterprise VPN Server offers optimised multi-processor support. Beta customers that tested this functionality have doubled throughput and seen CPU utilisation decrease by 5 percent on average. In addition, IT administrators can centrally manage the NCP Secure Enterprise Clients with NCP’s remote access management system, and prioritise employees’ connections when remote access to the corporate network is at maximum capacity.
