Beers with Talos Ep. #80: Working securely in a new (not yet) normal
Summary: In an episode recorded April 24, 2020, the Beers with Talos crew discussed security issues in the work-from-home environment and went in-depth on how VPNs work, how they protect users, and how they do not. The hosts also floated starting a campaign to formally recognize the legitimacy of "Social Mulligans."
Bottom line: The episode's central point is that a VPN protects less than many remote workers assume, a distinction that matters when a distributed workforce is leaning on it as the primary control for organizational data.
