I dunno man. I'm convinced that pretty much any mention of VPN these days is just an ad for vpns. That's with this article looks like.
My workplace requires VPN for Web sites that are authenticated, require 2FA and are encrypted. It's infuriatingly stupid. I feel like someone higher up got sold a useless contract by a good VPN salesperson.
I applaud your IT leadership/CIO for being willing to do this.
Most companies are far too passive and think "aIt won't happen to us".
I've seen companies scammed of $1mil in a single transaction because they sent credentials in email, to a scammer.
Had they used a credential management system this wouldn't have happened.
Every layer of security helps.
Yeah, maybe they should encrypt it a third time. You never know.
