Cisco is proud to release Cisco Secure Client (formerly AnyConnect) version 5.0.01242
Updating
Umbrella will not publish auto updates for Cisco Secure Client to the Umbrella dashboard. 4.10 (AnyConnect) branded releases will continue to be published. At the end of life release of 4.10, Umbrella auto update will release a one time update to the current Cisco Secure Client.
Updates in Cisco Secure Client are available from the cloud under Insights -> Cisco Secure Client on the SecureX portal. These updates are silently applied and version selection is available - with granular selection by profile! See Umbrella's Help.
