Tags vpn

Overview

GlobalProtect is a software program that allows you to access files on the MVCC network from home. You can also access specific applications, such as Colleague, using GlobalProtect. If you are accessing other applications, such as Canvas, MVConnect, or Panopto, you are able to do so from any computer. It does not require using GlobalProtect.
