NCP developed a worldwide unique product portfolio with the aim to utilize the rationalization potential due the implementation of mobile computing and teleworking into company communications on a broad basis. VPN client suite, VPN gateways, high availability server, VPN management services with network access control (NAC) and integration of identity and access management systems (IAM) - as a software solution "out of the box" and "Made in Germany".

"Universal Remote Access" or "integrated VPN" also means supporting all VPN technologies. IPsec and SSL.

"SSL VPNs are the best choice for connecting external partners (customers, suppliers) or sporadic users" (source: Gartner). 

"Traditional IPsec solutions are often too complex to manage, especially for a large number of users" (source: Quocirca).

NCP has managed to eliminate the prejudice against IPsec VPNs and to combine the advantages of both worlds in one system with its "Next Generation Access Technology".

Universality Conventional VPN clients require that an internet connection is already available for remote access.

Users as well as administrators talk about the "easy-to-use" aspect of the NCP Next Generation Network Access Technology (smooth user experience). All VPN components can be managed centrally.

 Performance

SSL VPN technology requires on the server side considerably more resources than IPsec VPNs due to their architecture. IPsec data connections furthermore have a lower bandwidth requirement.

 These features are particularly valued by our customers:

Integrated high end security technologies in connection with efficient management guarantee integrated security between teleworking stations and the central data network. End-to-end-security in every communication environment – also at hotspots. Central management creates transparency. This enables administrators to have an overview of the current status of all teleworking stations and systems at any time. This includes network access control (NAC), i.e. the central monitoring of adherence to all security guidelines prior to access to the company network.
