Approved Campus Remote Access Services

Summary

Per the Minimum Security Standards for Networked Devices Requirement #8: Remote Access Services, any service that provides or allows access to campus systems or networks from all (or significant portions) of the public Internet must be approved by the CISO -- see list below.

Units may also approve their own remote access services provided the services:

  1. Meet the implementation requirements outlined in MSSND 8: Remote Access Services Guideline, and

  2. Are in documented Unit policy.
