GlobalProtect is a secure VPN solution developed by Palo Alto Networks. It provides encrypted remote access to corporate networks, allowing users to securely connect to internal resources from anywhere in the world. GlobalProtect is widely used by enterprises to ensure data protection, user authentication, and compliance with corporate security policies.
The VPN works by creating an encrypted tunnel between the user’s device and the organization’s firewall or gateway. Once connected, users can access internal applications, file servers, intranet websites, and other protected services as if they were physically inside the company network.
GlobalProtect supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and integrates with modern authentication methods such as certificates, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and single sign-on (SSO).
