The GlobalProtect app for Chrome OS provides a simple
way to extend the enterprise security policies out to Chromebooks.
As with other remote hosts running the GlobalProtect agent, the
app provides secure access to your corporate network over an IPSec
or SSL VPN tunnel. After the user initiates a connection, the app
will connect to the gateway that is closest to the end user’s current
location. In addition, traffic to and from the Chromebook is automatically
subject to the same security policy enforcement as other hosts on
your corporate network. Like the GlobalProtect agent, the app collects
information about the host configuration and can use this information
for enhanced HIP-based security policy enforcement.
