Installation for Ivanti Secure Access Client (ISAC) on Ubuntu 24.04

GTIIT VPN allows GTIIT users to securely connect to the campus network even over a non-GTIIT network access (e.g. home broadband service). The VPN technology encrypts the data transferred online. Some GTIIT websites / online resources are accessible off-campus only if users have connected to a VPN connection.
