help Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client FAQ

Is Cisco AnyConnect the same as Cisco Secure Client?

Cisco has been moving the AnyConnect name under the broader Cisco Secure Client branding. Many companies and universities still call it AnyConnect because that was the familiar VPN client name for years.

What platforms can run Cisco AnyConnect?

AnyConnect has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android in typical enterprise deployments. Access is usually controlled by the organization, so users often get the installer from an employer or university portal rather than a public app page.

Does AnyConnect only do VPN?

The core use is VPN access to a corporate network, but Cisco packaged it with additional security modules in many enterprise setups. Depending on licensing, the same client can be tied to posture checks, roaming security, or multifactor authentication through tools such as Cisco Duo.

Can OpenConnect connect to an AnyConnect VPN?

OpenConnect is an open-source VPN client that supports the Cisco AnyConnect protocol in many deployments. Whether it works depends on the organization's authentication setup, certificate requirements, and whether the VPN gateway allows non-Cisco clients.
