VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Service Description:
Most online resources (eg: Sakai, Workday/Kronos, etc) can be accessed from any location. Some online resources (eg: Shared Drive, Remote Desktop, Onbase, Cognos) are restricted to the campus network. By using Cisco AnyConnect (VPN) software you create a secure, encrypted tunnel between your computer and the VPN remote server. This will make it appear as if you were on the campus network, to access these resources. VPN services use DUO.
