NCP engineering Enhances Enterprise VPN Client to Support Microsoft Windows Users' Evolving Remote Access NeedsMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- NCP engineering today announced that enterprises can upgrade its centrally managed IPsec VPN client suite to offer end users increased device and operating system flexibility when remotely connecting to their corporate networks. The NCP Secure Enterprise Client 9.31, which is available for purchase through NCP's network of reseller partners and distributors, supports laptops and tablets with Microsoft's (News - Alert) Windows 8 operating system (Professional or Enterprise editions), in addition to Windows 7/Vista/XP (32-/64-bit). To further support mobile employees' remote access needs, NCP has included its new Access Point (News - Alert) Name (APN) management feature in version 9.31. Rather than manually configuring the mobile access point when they access the Internet, users who switch out their SIM cards from different mobile operators, for example, when traveling to another country, will see that NCP's IPsec VPN software automatically prompts their device driver to search for and configure the APN via the SIM card's NetID (News - Alert).
