Re: re: sucking data

But you can do nothing that you couldn't do INSIDE the network, on a machine, as that same user.

If the software doesn't let you export that data, or copy to clipboard, then you're literally into screenshot territory. Plus all your monitoring, auditing, etc. software is there installed on the machine that's being copied from, not to mention you could in theory be monitoring that session.

VPN, that's not true. It's just network access.

RDP to servers, etc. yes you want to limit to administrators only via secured channels. But general users over RDP inside limited VM's? So much safer than a VPN for the same users.
