Our MySQL servers are behind our VPN and do not have public-facing IPs. Is there any benefit to connecting to them securely over SSL? I keep reading that it's recommended, but the only thing I can think of is that it will cause extra latency when establishing a connection?

Thanks! I'm always nervous about security because we were hacked back in 2015.
