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 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
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).
