Cloud VPN Migration to Zscaler

________________________________________________________________________



*Summary *

On *February 19th, 2024*, the CMS Hybrid Cloud Team began migrating accounts from Cloud VPN to Zscaler as part of our commitment to improve our security posture, optimize network performance, ease deployments, and enhance automatic discovery of security threats. Zscaler offers advanced cloud security services that will not only fortify our network but also provide a more efficient and reliable connection. 

If you have not yet migrated from Cloud Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) to Zscaler and need assistance, contact your IUSG Advisor to *start your migration to Zscaler as soon as possible. *

*There will be no impact to accounts using Cloud VPN as you will still have access until the migration is complete.* If you have already migrated to Zscaler, do not log back into Cisco VPN, and no further action is required.

 

*Timeline*

The migration period *began on February 19th, 2024, and will continue until July 30th, 2024, when Cloud Cisco VPN will be decommissioned.*
