Enterprise Cybersecurity at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is replacing the Virtual Private Network (VPN) client for employees who need to access Medical Center resources from offsite on February 26, 2019. The new client, F5/BIG-IP Edge, will replace the existing VPN client, Pulse Secure, which will continue to be available until March 19th.
Beginning, Friday, February 18th, Pulse Secure users will begin seeing an announcement about the replacement as they sign in.
The new F5 Virtual Private Network client is available for download now. Visit the Enterprise Cybersecurity VPN webpage for information about the new client, as well as how to access instructions to download VPN for Windows, MAC and mobile devices.
Users of the new VPN will also need to enroll in Multi-Factor Authentication to use the service, which adds another layer of security to protect Medical Center data. Enroll now using the MFA Configuration Assistant or visit the MFA Website for more information.
VUMC Enterprise Cybersecurity, established in July of 2018, has created several initiatives for safe communication at the Medical Center.
