About IT Remote Access

NGA users now have the ability to use SBU remote access tools including:

Remote desktop sessions

Microsoft Outlook Web Application (OWA)

Microsoft Teams Web Application

All three access options require that you have a Common Access Card (CAC), CAC reader, and the DoD root certificates installed on the device being used.  If you need assistance with CAC setup, please visit the CAC 123: NGA Employee CAC Resources site for instructions on setting up your CAC and installing PKI/PKE certificates.
