VPN Over SSL

Do you need VPN if your database connection is secured by SSL?

SSL ensures data integrity by preventing unauthorized parties from tampering with the data during transit. However, if you need to ensure end-to-end data integrity from your application to the database server, a VPN can provide an extra layer of protection against potential attacks or data manipulation. Ultimately, the decision to use a VPN in addition to SSL depends on your security policies and risk assessment.
