Your employer requires all mobile devices have a VPN client installed. The VPN client should be enabled whenever public or otherwise untrusted wireless networks are used. What is the benefit of using a VPN?
VPNs upgrade any HTTP traffic to HTTPS automatically
VPNs provide an encrypted tunnel that protects data transmitted wireless from being read by malicious actors
VPNs are a client only application that scans network traffic for possible viruses and worms
VPNs provide a packet scanning service that ensures the untrusted wireless network is safe to use
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides an encrypted tunnel to connect to networks. It can be used to securely connect from a home office to a corporate network or as an additional layer of security when using public wireless networks (e.g. the free WiFi at a coffee shop).
