Overview:

While the popularity of VPNs continues to grow, the technology has also become a significant source of malware infections. The mobile and third party devices of company employees are often unprotected and unpatched, and they are also exposed to the Internet, where worms and viruses can infect them at any time. Once the users of these unmanaged devices connect to the corporate network through a VPN, they may unwittingly release and propagate the malware they have picked up outside the corporate network. To properly secure VPN access, companies first must recognize that network attacks are not always initiated from outside the corporate network, and that perimeter network defense technologies cannot protect them from attacks that originate on the network interior.
