The process of acquiring and installing the software component that facilitates secure remote access to a network through a Palo Alto Networks security infrastructure. This involves obtaining the appropriate software package from a verified source and executing the installation program on the endpoint device.
Secure remote access is essential for maintaining productivity and operational continuity in distributed work environments. Historically, organizations relied on physical network infrastructure for security. As remote work has become more prevalent, solutions offering secure connectivity, like those provided by Palo Alto Networks, have become critical for protecting sensitive data and resources. Benefits include secure data transmission, controlled access to internal resources, and reduced risk of unauthorized network intrusion.
