Frequently asked questions

Can employees use personal laptops for VPN?+

It depends on your IT policy. Many companies allow VPN only from company-managed devices; if personal devices are allowed, they must meet security checks.

Who approves VPN access?+

The reporting manager approves the business need and IT security approves the device and network scope before IT creates the VPN profile.

Should vendor VPN access be permanent?+

No. Vendor access should be limited to the systems and time period needed, and removed after the work is complete.
