History

NCP engineering was founded in Nuremberg, Germany in 1986. The company produces software for secure data communication through the Internet, networks via 4G/5G and wireless LANs. At the core of NCP's business is provisioning secure communication connections between stationary and mobile end-devices as well as affiliate and branch networks to a company's headquarters. In 2007, NCP partnered with WatchGuard Technologies. In January 2010, NCP established a North American affiliate, NCP engineering, Inc. In February 2010, NCP engineering was awarded US Patent 8811397 B2 for a "System and method for data communication between a user terminal and a gateway via a network node". NCP engineering has been involved in the ESUKOM project for the development of a real-time security solution that protects corporate networks using integrated security solutions based on a unified metadata format since 2010. As a SIMU project partner ( security information and event management for small SMEs), NCP engineering is focused on optimizing IT security in corporate networks. After many years of working together, in 2017 NCP engineering and Juniper Networks have intensified their collaboration in a technology partnership. Juniper Networks and NCP engineering began a partnership in 2011 and intensified their collaboration in 2017 with an exclusive technology partnership. NCP has recently focused on cloud and flexible enterprise products while solidifying multiple hardware partnerships.
