When a person connects a VPN connection from their home to the office, they can very easily have a Trojan or a virus. This would allow for easy infection or access to the corporate network.
let's just say that i work for a regulatory agency dealing with lawyers. for us, we don't allow home machine to connect to our VPN. i created a small documentation/policy/recommendation for this not to happen.
What are what are your thoughts on policies, procedures, requirements for VPN users connecting to the corporate network as far as Password requirements, Personal Firewalls, Virus Software, Etc.?
we are requiring all laptop, including loaners to have firewall. as far as AV, password restrictions are stated in our acceptable use policy as well as other security amendments.
