As part of the Laboratory’s ongoing efforts to improve cyber security, TREX will require VPN for off site access beginning June 29th 2017. Users can get more information about VPN installation at http://go.lbl.gov/vpn and get assistance at http://help.lbl.gov. VPN service is provided at no charge for all LBL employees and affiliates.
Limiting access to the TREX application to those on our network or using VPN helps to limit the exposure of the application to hostile attackers on the internet. Applications exposed on the internet are subject to constant attack, and while LBL’s security systems help to reduce this exposure, IT judged that further reducing this risk was appropriate for TREX at this time.
If you have questions about VPN or feedback about this change, please visit http://help.lbl.gov/
Note that TREX is also undergoing a technical upgrade at the same time. For more details, visit http://travel.lbl.gov/
