Case Study: Radboud University achieves secure remote working with SURF eduVPN and SURFsecureID

Radboud University secures remote work for 6,000+ users with SURF

Radboud University faced the challenge of enabling secure remote work for its staff, a need that became critical with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The university needed to replace its outdated, on-premise VPN service and also implement multi-factor authentication to provide sufficient security for accessing sensitive applications. They turned to their vendor, SURF, for a solution.

SURF implemented a combined solution using its eduVPN service for encrypted connections and its SURFsecureID service for multi-factor authentication. This allowed the university to quickly scale its secure remote access capacity and enhance security without the high direct costs of building an in-house system. The solution successfully supports over 6,000 unique users and has received no complaints, with the university's team leader reporting himself as a satisfied user.
