Airport banking session

Airport Wi-Fi, banking, no VPN

A common risky pattern where the network is busy, the activity is highly sensitive, and there is no extra protection layer.

Result: This setup lands in a high-risk lane even with MFA because the activity itself is sensitive.

Cafe work session with VPN

Cafe Wi-Fi, file transfer, always-on VPN

Still not zero risk, but the protections cut a noticeable amount of exposure off the score.

Result: Longer sessions still add risk, but verified network access plus a VPN keeps the score more manageable.
