Ordering and Licensing Guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/anyconnect-secure-mobility-client/secure-client-og.html Cisco Secure Client (including AnyConnect VPN) provides reliable and easy-to-deploy encrypted network connectivity from any Apple iOS by delivering persistent corporate access for users on the go. Whether providing access to business email, a virtual desktop session, or most other iOS applications, AnyConnect enables business-critical application connectivity. Through the use of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), TCP-based applications and latency-sensitive traffic (such as voice over IP [VoIP]) are provided an optimized communication path to corporate resources. Additionally, the Cisco Secure Client support IPsec IKEv2 with Next Generation Encryption. Features: - Automatically adapts its tunneling to the most efficient method possible based on network constraints, using TLS and DTLS. - DTLS provides an optimized connection for TCP-based application access and latency-sensitive traffic, such as VoIP traffic - Network roaming capability allows connectivity to resume seamlessly after IP address change, loss of connectivity, or device standby - Wide Range of Authentication Options: RADIUS, RSA SecurID, Active Directory/Kerberos, Digital Certificates, LDAP, multifactor authentication - Supports certificate deployment using Apple iOS and AnyConnect integrated SCEP - Compatible with Apple iOS Connect On Demand VPN capability for automatic VPN connections when required by an application - Policies can be preconfigured or configured locally, and can be automatically updated from the VPN headend - Access to internal IPv4 and IPv6 network resources - Administrator-controlled split / full tunneling network access policy - Per App VPN (TCP and UDP) - MDM controlled If you are an end-user and have any issues or concerns, please contact your organization’s support department. If you are a System Administrator having difficulties configuring or utilizing the Application, please contact your designated support point of contact.
