In order to provide the best protections to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ users from off campus, IT Services is updating the VPN connection software to utilize Palo Alto GlobalProtect software.

Palo Alto GlobalProtect is the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ VPN solution, allowing users to connect to the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ campus networks and access many secured resources. GlobalProtect is a “client” software and must be installed on any computer or mobile device that needs to connect to the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ VPN. The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ GlobalProtect VPN solution is designed to enhance our security posture by requiring Multifactor Authentication (MFA) access to the service.

The current VPN connection method that utilizes Windows and Mac OS-provided solutions will be deprecated in the near future.
