Cisco has released Cisco AnyConnect 4.6. Feel free to download it below. While I no longer work with Cisco gear as my primary job and have moved to the AWS/DevOps side of IT, I still have access to the AnyConnect images for the time being.
Some USC online-based services require access through on-campus USC Secure Wireless or a wired network connection. USC offers a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to provide secure remote access to these services when you are off-campus. When off-campus, you must use the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client to access internal USC systems handling confidential or sensitive data, such as Student Information System (SIS), and file servers for specific schools and departments. The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client is a web-based VPN client that does not require user configuration.
