Windows 10 Mobile must enable VPN protection.
Description
Discussion Text
A key characteristic of a mobile device is that they typically will communicate wirelessly and are often expected to reside in locations outside the physical security perimeter of a DoD facility. In these circumstances, the threat of eavesdropping is substantial. Virtual private networks (VPNs) provide confidentiality and integrity protection for data transmitted over untrusted media (e.g., air) and networks (e.g., the Internet). They also provide authentication services to ensure that only authorized users are able to use them. Consequently, enabling VPN protection counters threats to communications to and from mobile devices.
