Discussion Post: Security Risks Associated With VPNs

Virtual private networks, or VPNs, offer a secure mechanism for accessing a network. Often they are a convenience to access an organization's infrastructure. VPNs also need to be considered in an organization's business continuity plan. As an example, many organizations had not planned for the COVID-19 pandemic. Many had to convert their operations to a work-from-home structure, and infrastructures may not have been set up to handle the traffic.
