GlobalProtect overview

What is GlobalProtect?

GlobalProtect is a virtual private network (VPN) platform designed to help businesses inspect incoming and outgoing traffic, secure access to sensitive data through an IPsec/SSL VPN connection, and gain visibility across applications, ports, and protocols for the mobile workforce.

GlobalProtect allows enterprises to filter URLs, restrict access to malicious domains and use multi-factor or cookie-based authentication methods to confirm users' identity. Its App-ID technology identifies application traffic and lets organizations establish usage policies based on devices.

GlobalProtect's User-ID technology identifies users to enforce role-based network security policies. The system protects mobile workforce by inspecting traffic using firewalls at internet gateways and smartphones, tablets, and laptops, among other devices.

“GlobalProtect provides a great value especially in the time of working from home. Accessing all data you have on your work servers from the comfort of your home, or anywhere else, is priceless.”

Cons
“I prefer to have more control as an end-user. From an administrative standpoint, I suspect IT support would have to bear much of the burden of debugging their own users' issues.”

“I had an issue connecting and it seemed to mess up my password within our company's system.”

VACT Senior Program Assistant

“A similar issue has been the overall lack of options in the user interface. It appears to be a "one-shot" software that either works in its pre-configured way or doesn't work at all.”
