Objective
This article shows you how to download and install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on a Windows Computer. This article is applicable only to Cisco Business products that includes the RV34x series routers and not Enterprise products.
Introduction
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a modular endpoint software product. It not only provides Virtual Private Network (VPN) access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Internet Key Exchange version2 (IKEv2) but also offers enhanced security through various built-in modules. Why use a VPN? A VPN connection allows users to access, send, and receive data to and from a private network by means of going through a public or shared network such as the Internet but still ensuring a secure connection to an underlying network infrastructure to protect the private network and its resources.
Cisco AnyConnect is compatible with Windows versions 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and later.
