IT Security

UMSL uses the Bradford Networks NAC (Network access Control) to inspect a computer before it is allowed on the campus network. It ensures the system meets current security standards and has some basic security features like an up-to-date antivirus program and operating system patches. NAC is also used to control access to the campus wireless network "TritonNet". For more information on IT Security, please visit http://www.umsl.edu/technology/security

TritonVPN (Virtual Private Network)

VPN is a service available to UMSL faculty, staff and students.  A VPN is a way to securely connect to campus resources from TritonNet Wireless or an off-campus location. VPN software running on the user’s system encrypts the data before it is transmitted even if the user is on a public unsafe network such as a coffee house. More information is available in the article What is a VPN and How You Might Use It.
If you need assistance downloading or installing the VPN client, contact the Technology Support Center at 516-6034
