German Security Group Defines Blueprint for Next Generation Network Access
NUREMBERG, May 13 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Culled from 21 years of network access control implementation experience, NCP engineering
GmbH (http://www.ncp.de) today announced a blueprint for Next Generation Network Access
Technology. The roadmap details the 12 essential components
(http://www.ncp-e.com/en/vpn-szenarien-produkte/argumente/anforderungen-access
-technologie.html) organisations need to secure their networks, foster productivity across a
distributed network and streamline central management policy, while meeting compliance
mandates.

Next Generation Network Access Technology core modules include Network Access Control
(NAC), Identity and Access Management (IAM), endpoint security (IPSec, SSL or hybrid VPN
gateway), VPN management and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
"NCP's Secure Communications
(http://www.ncp-e.com/en/vpn-scenarios-products/vpn-products.html) technology is a prime
example of the next generation network access solution enterprises need. It addresses businesses'
pain points and reduces the burdens of large, complex environments, bringing the benefits of
secure network access without the management headaches," said Fran Howarth, Quocirca analyst.
"The enterprise security industry is evolving as a new generation of IPSec VPNs becomes
available. Organisations are now requiring a centrally managed, high security network access
solution with powerful personal firewalls to provide complete system and device coverage."

- Central Management - Secure communications technology must be easy-to-use and simple to
operate. With a single point of administration, only one user interface and one console are needed
to manage mass-rollouts.
- Network Access Control - Endpoint policy enforcement enables enterprises to specify access
parameters to the network system, forcing users without valid device configurations into a
quarantine zone.
- IPSec and SSL Hybrid Support - Regardless of which VPN gateway is applied, a central remote
station, such as the NCP Secure Enterprise Server, is able to control both worlds. The
simultaneous support of IPSec and SSL protocols guarantees secure company communications in
every environment.
- Open Standard Interface - The network access control solution supports all relevant operating
systems and VPN gateways, and an open standard interface reduces organisations' administrative
burdens as well as overhead costs.
- Personal Firewall - An integrated, dynamic personal firewall with friendly net detection
automatically recognises safe and unsafe networks and regulates activity on these networks.
