Good morning Aditya,

Although I can't find any sources other than this at the moment, it's 
commonly understood that a significant number of malicious behaviour 
originates within an organization's internal network -- that is, your 
users are the bad guys.  The article referenced below says 35%, but I 
have no idea where they got that number.

That being the case, consider that VPNs only protect you across the 
public (untrusted) network.  Once you hit your internal (untrusted) 
network, telnet sessions would be in the clear.

take care,

Cael
