I'm taking part in a survey for my company, and one of my recommendations is for home workers to be on the company (connected to our NAS) because our home network can't be guaranteed, we have to rely on storing data on a proprietary cloud storage site etc.

Please share your suggested arguments for (or against) VPN for all home workers.

@syntax corporate laptop + all internal assets only reachable from "inside" + vpn is pretty good. But if there's no management of what apps are installed on the laptop, eg, remote access malware, it's not going to stop attackers proxying through the vpn-connected laptop and do what they like.

At least via vpn there are revokable credentials attached to the bad actor. If you monitor if accounts try to do something out of their role, monitor laptop hygiene, it can be part of a secure setup.
