minus-squareKethal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down16·edit-27 months agoMy 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.

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.
