The WashU VPN allows you to connect to university resources which require a secure WashU network connection.

WashU Information Technology is responsible for operating IT services that maximize physical security, provide reasoned protections for IT systems from natural disasters, and minimize cyber security risks for university data and systems.

This guideline establishes guidelines for the management of securable university data and the responsibilities for the protection of this data. The guideline refers to all securable university data, whether printed or electronic, and whether individually controlled, shared, stand-alone or networked.
