  <title><![CDATA[GlobalProtect VPN to Replace Cisco AnyConnect]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>As a component of Georgia Tech&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://datax.gatech.edu/endpointcompliance" title="Endpoint Compliance Campaign">Endpoint Compliance Campaign</a>, the Office of Information Technology will sunset the&nbsp;Cisco AnyConnect-based virtual private network (VPN)&nbsp;service at the end of the academic year. Users are being asked to transition from AnyConnect to the&nbsp;GlobalProtect VPN service in a phased approach.</p>

<p>GlobalProtect&nbsp;is a client and clientless-based remote access VPN solution, which offers a higher capacity and higher performance VPN solution.</p>

<p>Phases for the transition are as follows:</p>

<ul>
	<li>IT Community: Nov. 2, 2021</li>
	<li>Faculty/Staff/Employees: Dec. 21, 2021</li>
	<li>Students/Other Users: May 10, 2022</li>
</ul>

<p>Access to Cisco AnyConnect VPN for faculty and staff will be disabled on Tuesday, Dec. 21. Before this time, Georgia Tech employees are encouraged to&nbsp;install and begin using&nbsp;GlobalProtect&nbsp;VPN offered at&nbsp;<a href="http://vpn.gatech.edu/">vpn.gatech.edu</a>. Instructions can be found at <a href="https://gatech.service-now.com/home?id=kb_article_view&amp;sysparm_article=KB0026837">KB0026837</a>.</p>

<p>If you require assistance or&nbsp;have any issues with GlobalProtect, please submit a&nbsp;<a href="https://gatech.service-now.com/technology" title="Technology Help Request">Technology Help Request</a>.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
