California-based Marin Montessori School reportedly has selected NCP as its sole provider for remote network access end-point security.

 

School officials said that the after an evaluation of available IPSec VPN software, the NCP Secure Entry Client was chosen for its compatibility with both Windows Vista 64-bit and third-party VPN gateways.

 

“Our faculty and staff often work outside of school – requiring secure access of the network from home, while travelling, or in coffee shops,” said Zarko Darganic, IT manager of school.

 

Darganic said that NCP had the most flexible VPN client software the school could find. He said that it was easy to configure and operate, faster, and more stable and compatible than other solutions the school tried.

 

The NCP Secure Entry Client provides the school with a single software solution that provides ease-of-use for both the school’s staff and its IT managers by integrating strong data encryption, and one-time password token and certificate support through a public key infrastructure.

 

Also, a dynamic firewall would also help Marin Montessori School – whose students are shown at right in a production of Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book” – to set policies for ports, IP addresses and segments, as well as applications. The firewall can work in conjunction with or replace existing ones – the choice is the users.

 

Headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, NCP engineering helps IT network managers secure data transmission in public networks and across the Internet. Organizations that employ remote access, mobile computing, teleworking and e-commerce throughout the world rely on NCP for key secure communications technology including Remote Access, IP-Routing, VPN and Firewall solutions, Identity and Access Management and Network Access Control.

 

In December NCP engineering GmbH had announced that it has become the provider of VPN client software for Pennsylvania-based First National Bank.

 

The Bank chose to adopt the NCP Secure Entry Client for its stable IPSec tunnel and powerful encryption to securely allow remote staff to access the network from anywhere.
