Imperial services that are on the cloud can be accessed from anywhere and at any time, as long as you have an internet connection. Popular cloud services include your email, Office 365, Panopto and Blackboard.
Other Imperial services and applications require a private secured network to access them when working away from campus, such as ICIS. Staff should use Unified Access to access services and applications remotely. Students can use Azure Virtual Desktop or a VPN service if there is anything they cannot access via the cloud.
