Global Protect VPN provides secure, encrypted remote access to corporate networks, enabling employees and mobile users to connect safely from anywhere. Built on SSL/TLS encryption and tightly integrated with Palo Alto Networks security platforms, it establishes a protected tunnel between the user's device and the organization's firewall, ensuring sensitive data remains secure from unauthorized access.
Designed for reliability and ease of use, the GlobalProtect client offers streamlined deployment, strong authentication mechanisms, and stable connectivity across diverse network environments. It allows users to securely access internal resources such as file servers, enterprise applications, and intranet systems --- as if they were physically connected to the corporate network.
The GlobalProtect client supports modern Windows and macOS operating systems, with additional support for mobile platforms including iOS and Android. Through centralized management in the Palo Alto Networks firewall management interface or Panorama, administrators can deploy configurations, enforce security policies, and monitor active VPN sessions efficiently.
