Cisco offers Secure Mobility Solution to extend the network perimeter to remote 
endpoints, enabling the seamless integration of web filtering services offered by 
the Web Security appliance. Secure Mobility Solution is a collection of features 
across multiple Cisco products that restores security and control in borderless 
networks. The Cisco products that work with Secure Mobility Solution are the 
Cisco IronPort Web Security appliance, Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security 
appliance, and Cisco AnyConnect secure mobility client.
Using Secure Mobility Solution, mobile and remote users have a seamless 
experience and are always protected from risks as if they were local users 
connected within the network.
When Secure Mobility Solution is enabled on the Web Security appliance, you 
can distinguish remote users from local users. This allows you to perform the 
following tasks:
  •
Create Identities and other policies for remote users. 
  •
View reports for remote traffic.
  •
Enable single sign-on (SSO) for remote users. 
For information on enabling single sign-on, see 
.
Note
To enable Secure Mobility Solution, the appropriate license key must be installed 
on the Web Security appliance.
Working with Remote Users
When Secure Mobility Solution is enabled, you can configure Identities and other 
policies to apply to users by their location:
  •
Remote users. These users are connected to the network from a remote 
location using VPN (virtual private network). Users might be located in a 
home office, coffee shop, or hotel, for example. The Web Security appliance 
automatically identifies remote users when both the Cisco adaptive security 
appliance and Cisco AnyConnect client are used for VPN access. Otherwise, 
the Web Security appliance administrator must specify remote users by 
configuring a range of IP addresses.
