Director IT Hamish Martin recently announced a new VPN is available to make remote working easier and more secure.
The IT team has implemented a secure remote access portal called EMS-VPN, Enterprise Management Server – Virtual Private Network. If you have a Windows laptop and you don’t already have the existing VPN solution, please download the new EMS-VPN to help us to keep our devices, systems, and information secure.

Benefits of the EMS-VPN
The EMS-VPN will enable you to change your passwords remotely and will ensure that your devices automatically receive system and security patch updates when logged in to Unitec’s network off-campus. This will keep your Unitec device secure when you’re working remotely. It will also allow you to change your password when you’re off-campus, so you won’t need to maintain two passwords.
Install the package
From today, all staff on windows-based laptops who are not already using the existing VPN solution can download the EMS-VPN package from the Nest.
Installing this on your Unitec device is simple. Just follow the instructions, and the IT helpdesk will be available to assist if you have any issues with the process.
Password changes and security updates without EMS-VPN
If you do not already have the existing VPN and don’t download this new EMS-VPN, password changes and security updates will still need to be carried out on campus.
