Cisco Secure Client

Cisco Secure Client (formerly AnyConnect) is the unified endpoint agent for Cisco security and connectivity, delivering VPN, Zero Trust Network Access, endpoint posture, network visibility, and secure web access from a single installer. Programmatic interfaces are exposed indirectly through Cisco Secure Firewall (ASA, FTD), Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Cisco Secure Access, Umbrella, and Duo. There is no single public REST surface for the client itself; integration is achieved through profile XML packages, MDM-deployed configuration, and the management plane APIs exposed by these adjacent Cisco services.

Cisco Secure Client publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AccessPolicies API, AccessRules API, Authentication API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Endpoint Security, Remote Access, Security, VPN, and Zero Trust.

The Cisco Secure Client catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Cisco Secure Client’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, engineering blog, documentation, getting-started guide, changelog, support, and 9 more developer resources.
