First IPsec VPN Client compatible with Windows 10 now available with newly added features to improve ease-of-use capabilities while optimizing for Internet of Things configuration

NCP engineering today announced the availability of its updated NCP Secure Clients, Version 10.02, to support users running Windows 10, the yet-released, latest version of the operating system, as well as those running Windows 8.x, Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

The update includes optimization for Internet of Things (IoT) configuration, without the need for user interaction, and streamlines the process for network administrators in connected environments. It also introduces a function to deactivate the WLAN adapter the moment the LAN cable is plugged in, eliminating dual network connections at the user’s request. Further, the Client has the capability to initiate a VPN tunnel immediately after the system starts (pre-logon), without the user having to enter a password or a PIN before logging into Windows. This new pre-logon feature with machine certification helps to manage the devices by IT administrators, not individual users and adds more security in a companywide environment.

Other key upgrades include:

– Periodic Friendly Net Detection (FND) testing that alerts the user if the preferred network is no longer available

– A user interface that scales to the monitor with touch operation to improve the user experience on touch screen devices, such as Windows tablets and smartphones

– Search log functionality within the log protocol and immediate configuration updates carried over by the management system

Enterprises can purchase the NCP Secure Clients for Windows, Version 10.02, from NCP’s network of reseller partners and distributors.
