Essential Remote Access Guidelines
Users connected to the IT Services VPN Service must treat their connection as though they were in their office. Users must never leave their device unattended whilst connected to the Remote Access Service. Users must be particularly aware when using a personal device (e.g. home PC) and consider particular applications running whilst connected to the Remote Access Service, e.g. Peer to Peer (P2P) software. Any P2P applications left running will therefore be running over the University network and subject to University IT regulations [2]. Further information is available on the VPN help pages.

Users must consider the risk in accessing documents from home or when away from the office. Further guidance can be found on the Information Security website.
