Cisco Secure Client Advantage (AnyConnect)
Formerly AnyConnect Plus
Secure VPN access for remote workers
Cisco Secure client is the next generation of AnyConnect. It enhances the modular approach of AnyConnect and introduces Cisco Secure Endpoint as a fully integratedmodule into the new Cisco Secure Client. Existing customers will still enjoy a familiar and user-friendly experience. Existing Secure Endpoint (AMP for Endpoints) users will find the end user interface easy to navigate. We are introducing the ability to deploy, update and manage Cisco Secure Client from the Cloud. This provides customers another deployment option to our long-existing deployment options; Pre-deploy (SCCM, MSI), Web Deploy with VPN Headends, Secure Firewall, and the Identity Services Engine. Cloud Management is an optional feature. Cloud Management allows for different deployment installers that contain the modules and associated profiles that best fit the groups of users. The software will access the cloud transparently based on an administrative configuration in the CM profile. The user is no longer required to be on-premise either physically or via VPN to be updated..
