Will a VPN help to detect if a client's sensitive data has been compromised?
So a VPN can encrypt data, and that's great. But I want to know how I will know if the privacy and security of my business's client base have been breached. Any idea if a VPN will give me an alert? And if a hacker has gained access, how do I get them out and re-secure the data?Asked 8 months ago

Should I use a VPN with MFA if I have multiple offices using client PII on cloud storage?
I have recently opened up multiple offices that provide customer support and provide space and data for sales representatives. My company has been gathering personal information with customer consent and storing it in a cloud space. I have already implemented a high-speed VPN that encrypts all data, however, I feel the need to add more layers of security to ensure we don't have any data breaches that could have been avoided. Will a multi-factor authentication be enough to ward off hackers? Or are there other data security measures that need to be taken? Asked 8 months ago

Will a VPN with built-in MFA add security without slowing internet speed?
I'm aware that running a VPN already slows down one's internet connection, but I would like to add an extra layer of login security by using an MFA. This got me thinking about whether I should switch VPN service providers to a premium VPN that already has an MFA built into the system. This way, it shouldn't decrease the internet connection speed. Am I correct? Asked 8 months ago

Should I add MFA to the premium VPN to avoid unwanted login attempts?
Hi, I own a business that currently has about 20 remote-working employees. We have our own developed system that they work from online, and a lot of their work requires research and accessing sensitive data that would be catastrophic if any of it leaked. I already have them all on a premium VPN. Still, we've noticed that there have been several failed login attempts from unknown devices, and I'm wondering whether I should be adding multi-factor authentication to secure their accounts and business data further. Thoughts? Asked 8 months ago
