Here’s what IS&T recommends you do to be digitally secure at MIT.

Duo security requirement for VPN
As part of the ongoing rollout of Duo Security two-factor authentication (2FA) to the MIT community, on January 13, 2016 the IS&T remote-access VPN service (vpn.mit.edu) will begin requiring 2FA by users who have already enabled two-factor Touchstone authentication.
