With the NCP Secure Enterprise Mac Client, administrators can centrally provision employees using OS X 10.7 Lion computers and automatically manage their secure remote network access. The IPsec client software also bundles a configuration wizard, NCP's Path Finder Technology (which is used in conjunction with NCP's VPN gateway) and Friendly Net Detection.
