2. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility 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).
Release 4.x goes well beyond traditional secure access. It offers a wide range of endpoint security services and
streamlined IT operations from a single unified agent. AnyConnect 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 AnyConnect also provides robust unified compliance capabilities so that an

anomalies and to make more informed network and service design decisions. Rich contextual data from the
AnyConnect Network Visibility Module can be shared with a growing number of Internet Protocol Flow Information
