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 provide a packet scanning service that ensures the untrusted wireless network is safe to use
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 upgrade any HTTP traffic to HTTPS automatically
