A Virtual Private Network or VPN is a remote access service that creates a virtual connection between an internet user and a trusted, enterprise network. A VPN is used to provide an additional layer of security for remote access or to provide a virtual presence on a network.
NYLS currently operates an enterprise VPN based on Cisco’s Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA). It offers both VPN functions, providing secure access for designated staff to access select administrative systems. VPN service is available to administrative staff who require remote access to restricted on campus applications.
To request remote access, please submit a support request. Your request will be reviewed and granted on an as-needed basis. If approved, follow this guide to setup and access the NYLS VPN.
