Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN enables UCSF to provide secure connections to the UCSF network regardless of where the user is when connecting. Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN provides the ability to keep you, your data, and UCSF safe when you are connecting to the UCSF network remotely. Since a locally installed VPN client simplifies access when you are not on campus, it is a good idea to make it your primary choice when connecting remotely.

After a 2017 security assessment showed that we still had some way to go, Chancellor Hawgood instructed us to “move purposefully” on a suite of security initiatives, including the deployment of Network Access Control (NAC).
