[Alexander Kozlov]

Good Afternoon:

Information Services and Technology (IS&T) is pleased to announce the release of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0 for Windows. This release, an update from version 2.4, provides improved security and OS compatibility.

How To Obtain
Current Windows VPN users will be upgraded to this latest version automatically upon connecting to MIT's Virtual Private Network. New users can obtain it online at vpn.mit.edu<https://vpn.mit.edu>.

Known Issue: The installer removes Cisco AnyConnect and replaces it with Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, breaking any Cisco AnyConnect shortcut on the desktop. Users with this shortcut will need to create a new one pointing to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0, which is found in the Program Files\Cisco folder.

Getting Help
More information about MIT's VPN can be found on the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client for All Platforms page<http://ist.mit.edu/cisco-anyconnect/all> and installation instructions can be found in the Knowledge Base article: Cisco AnyConnect VPN - Installing the VPN Client and Initiating a Connection<http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/6QPn>.

For help with the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, please contact the IS&T Help Desk at 617.253.1101 or  helpdesk at mit.edu<mailto:helpdesk at mit.edu>. You can also submit a request online<http://ist.mit.edu/help>.
