Feature Status Behavior in AnyConnect 4.8.01090

With AnyConnect Client version 4.8.01090, the client can report DNS Protection Status as protected, while displaying Web Protection Status as unprotected.

Explanation of Protection States

AnyConnect 4.8.01090 introduces support for the Umbrella Secure Web Gateway (SWG) service. Activation of this service requires an active Umbrella SIG Essentials, SIG Advantage, or SIG add-on subscription. Once the appropriate subscription is active, the AnyConnect endpoint client enables the Umbrella SWG service.

For customers without a SIG-based subscription who install AnyConnect 4.8.01090, the client displays Umbrella SWG statistics placeholders and a message indicating the Web Protection status is unprotected.
