Useful capabilities of the tool - the company’s first for the platform - include automatic connection, seamless switching between and and a built-in firewall. The NCP Secure Entry Mac works on Intel-based Macs running Leopard and Snow Leopard, and lists for $144. An enterprise edition is planned within months that will add hostile network detection and automatically invoke and other settings when appropriate to bolster security. The CRN Test Center downloaded version 1.0 shortly after the was released in mid-June. Testers found a stable application that was easy to install and set up, and after a few custom settings for our test network, the client worked quietly in the background. A traffic-light in the Mac OS X Dock indicates connection status, and when the firewall is active, the light is protected by a red brick wall.

Not so with the NCP Secure Entry Mac Client, which is certified to the FIPS 140-2 specification. It also supports VPN Path Finder, a feature familiar to users of NCP’s VPN client for Windows, allows for a secure data connection from behind public-hotspot firewalls and other instances where an IPsec VPN connection is typically not possible. And it’s in such situations that according to Martin Hack, executive vice president of NCP engineering, a personal firewall is most important. “If you’re on a Starbucks network and you get spoofed, someone now has a secure connection to your corporate network,” he said “A personal firewall adds layers of security around the tunnel, and those layers are necessary to protect the corporate network.” Friendly Net Detection, a feature currently available only on the company’s Windows client, detects whether the network is friendly or hostile, and automatically erects a firewall accordingly. The function will be implemented in the enterprise edition for Mac OS X later this year, as will the option of preventing connections to a corporate VPN from within the corporate network. The purpose here is to preserve resources and prevent routing disruptions. While pricing of the Mac OS X enterprise edition hasn’t yet been set, it’s expected to be on par with its Windows counterpart, which lists for $180.
