Service Description

Security Operations has implemented an SSL VPN solution to help meet the remote access needs of Vanderbilt faculty and staff. This service is used to help preserve data confidentiality and integrity when transmitted across the Internet.  The solution allows you to connect to the Vanderbilt network via a VPN client software or web browser capable of using SSL encryption. The SSL VPN allows access to Vanderbilt systems and computing resources with an internet connection in a safe and secure fashion.

The Pulse Secure VPN client is now available to all Vanderbilt faculty and staff. You do not need to request a VPN account.

Options:

  • Windows 10 and higher, macOS 11 and higher, and Linux - Use the Pulse Secure client.
