Corporate VPN for traveling VIPs on public wifi

Hello all, 

 

I'm having a discussion with my boss about the need for using our AnyConnect VPN or hotspots when our VIPs are traveling and using public wireless. I was taught that all public wireless should be avoided or to use a VPN to ensure encryption. This was prior to HTTPS so there was greater risk of un-encrypted traffic. His point is that using a VPN or a personal hotspot is unnecessary since traffic is already encrypted. 

 

We also have users in less secure countries like China that my boss is a little more receptive to forcing them to use a VPN. 

 

Can anyone give me ammunition to make a case for VPN or hotspot use? 

 

Thanks.
