VPN and HTTPS might give secure communications but they don't say anything about the security of the original sender and the ultimate receiver itself.
VPN, nor HTTPS, will stop an infected, zombied or otherwise remotely controlled workstation from doing unwanted things.

Having control of the main access point that gives Internet access or other means of communications would give a black hat hacker/cracker many possibilities to do just about anything.

Also, trusting security on VPN alone is equivelant to having an uncontrolled, unmanaged and unchecked workstation connected directly to your internal network. Not something you would want.
