Introduction
This document describes how to keep the Cisco Secure Client (CSC) up to date.
Overview
The CSC is the primary roaming computer agent for Cisco Umbrella deployments, replacing both the AnyConnect 4.x Roaming Security Module, and the stand-alone Umbrella Roaming Client. There are several options available to keep the Cisco Secure Client and the Umbrella module up to date.
Update Options
New: As of version 5.1.5.65, the Cisco Secure Client now supports the Client Auto-Update setting in your Umbrella dashboard.
We also offer several alternative methods by which to keep your clients up to date:
- Recommended: Most companies prefer to manage updates at their own pace through their own device management platform. The instructions for this can be found here: Umbrella Module for Cisco Secure Client - Command Line installation and RMM reference.
- You can download the installer directly from your Umbrella Dashboard and update an individual machine. This is a particularly good option for trying out a new version before fully committing to it for your production devices.
- Customers using the AnyConnectVPN can use the Web Deployment method. Install the latest Headend Deployment Package downloaded from your dashboard to your VPN headend, and your users automatically update the next time they connect to the VPN.
- If you are a Cisco XDR customer, you can use the XDR portal to manage CSC deployments.
- Cloud deployment of the CSC can also be managed by using Cisco Security Cloud Control. The User Guide for Cisco Security Cloud Control is available here.
