The Cisco Secure Client reduces the number of endpoint applications required by our customers. Built upon AnyConnect, the Secure Client is our next generation software which introduces Cisco Secure Endpoint as a fully integrated module and offers optional Cloud Management via SecureX.

The Cisco Secure Client consistently raises the bar by making the remote-access experience easy for end users while providing the security that enterprise IT requires. It helps enable a highly secure connectivity experience across a broad set of PC and mobile devices. As mobile workers roam to different locations, they automatically resume connectivity. The always-on intelligent VPN adapts the tunneling protocol to the most efficient method, such as the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol for latency-sensitive VoIP traffic or TCP-based application access. Tunneling support is also available for IP Security Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IPsec IKEv2).

The Secure Client goes well beyond traditional secure access. It offers a wide range of endpoint security services and streamlined IT operations from a single unified agent. Secure Client offers you the ability to achieve tighter security controls while helping to enable direct, highly secure, per-application access to corporate resources through mobile per-application VPN services. Cisco Secure Client also provides robust unified compliance capabilities so that an endpoint’s compromised state is less able to affect the integrity of the corporate network. Secure Client provides endpoint posture assessment and remediation capabilities for wired, wireless, and VPN environments in conjunction with Cisco Identity Services Engine (requires Secure Client Premier license and ISE Premier/Apex license). Access can be granted based on validating an endpoint’s state (antimalware, patch, disk encryption, and beyond) while out-of-compliance endpoints can have automated remediation actions or remediation actions based on policy requirements.

Network Visibility Module (Windows, macOS, and certain Android platforms) allows administrators to monitor endpoint application usage on and off premises to uncover potential behavior anomalies and to make more informed network and service design decisions. Rich contextual data from the Secure Client Network Visibility Module can be shared with a growing number of Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX)–capable network-analysis tools.

Secure Client 5 also integrates optional Secure Endpoint functions, significantly expanding endpoint threat protection. This capability further reduces the potential of an attack from enterprise-connected hosts. Cisco Secure Endpoint is licensed separately from the Cisco Secure Client, but use of the Secure Client with the service is complimentary.

The Secure Client has built-in web security and malware threat defense capabilities when used in conjunction with Cisco Umbrella or the premises-based Cisco Secure Web Security Appliance. Along with remote access, the comprehensive and highly secure enterprise mobility solution supports web security and malware threat defense. It automatically blocks phishing and command-and-control attacks. Consistent, context- aware security policies help ensure a protected and productive work environment.

In addition to industry-leading VPN capabilities, the Secure Client supports advanced IEEE 802.1X capabilities. A single authentication framework manages user and device identity along with the network access protocols required to move smoothly from wired to wireless networks. Consistent with its VPN functionality, the client supports IEEE 802.1AE Media Access Control security (MACsec) for data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication on wired networks. Communication between trusted components of the network is protected.
