## Description

Ivanti Tunnel is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enable secure App VPN connections for enterprise environments. It authorizes specific business applications, including native Android, Android enterprise, and Samsung KNOX Workspace apps, granting access to corporate resources behind firewalls or in the cloud. By blocking unapproved and personal apps, Tunnel ensures that only authorized business data flows through, enhancing data security and protecting user privacy.

The extension leverages Ivanti's advanced security features to continuously monitor device posture, preventing devices that are jailbroken or have disabled data protection from establishing connections. Additionally, Samsung KNOX Workspace users benefit from VPN chaining support. Tunnel integrates seamlessly with Ivanti Core, Ivanti Sentry, or Ivanti Access, functioning as part of a comprehensive IT security infrastructure deployed by organizations. With over 5,600 customers worldwide and a strong focus on mobile IT, Ivanti Tunnel delivers reliable, enterprise-grade VPN solutions for securing corporate data and devices.
