Cisco AnyConnect VPN
From mid-morning Wednesday 26 April 2023, you will need to use the Cisco AnyConnect application to use VPN and your SSO credentials to authenticate. This will be a replacement for the current macOS built in VPN, which will no longer be available once new system goes live on 26 April.
' Why the change? This change comes as part of our infrastructure hardware upgrade, which will enhance the security of our network and provide you with a more reliable and consistent VPN experience.
