VA Handbook 6500 identifies the compliance requirements for VA remote access users.
VA supports remote access with two different applications 1. Citrix Access Gateway (CAG) and 2. CISCO RESCUE VPN Client. The Citrix Access Gateway is designed for users that do not have VA Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) – CAG is a good option to allow users access to general applications such as email and chat. The CISCO RESCUE VPN Client is only for use on VA Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) and is installed on all GFE laptops. Users would still need to request remote access and have their remote access accounts enabled for use with either CAG or RESCUE.
You may request remote access by visiting the Remote Access Self Service Portal ( only available while on VA's internal network).
Please note the Self-Service Portal is only accessible from within the VA network, it is not externally accessible.
