Loss of Personal Information in any way...

Ransomware is still very easy to do, very lucrative, commonplace and hard to protect against.  I think it is the highest probability, significant impact risk facing businesses today.

Employees access both personal and professional email on Corp laptops. Your anti-phishing solution protects both?

We don’t allow any access except through corporate vpn and no personal email access (gmail, yahoo, etc)

VPN provides “secure access” from endpoint to the corporate network.

Assume endpoint is breached and the employee working from home connects to the corporate network. And, now the bad actor has also got secure access to the corporate network.

IMHO, the best thing to do is put MFA between endpoints and each application.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is probably the biggest vector, RAT (remote access/administration trojan/toolset/threat) is probably the biggest threat (often linked to ransomware and/or exhilaration of data)
