  • Description (100 - 250 words): Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect is an enterprise VPN / secure remote access product used by organizations to connect users to internal networks and applications. Instead of consumer “anonymity” goals, it prioritizes managed access, policy enforcement, authentication integrations (SSO/MFA), and admin control over routing. It commonly supports SSL VPN / IPsec (varies), enterprise security policy integration, with capabilities depending on the company’s gateway/firewall configuration. Teams deploy it for remote work, contractor access, and compliance-sensitive connectivity, often alongside endpoint posture checks and device certificates. Deployments are IT-managed, so performance and features vary by organization policy and infrastructure. For DVPN comparisons, note the different trust model: centralized enterprise control vs decentralized routing.
