Cisco Security Connector: Secure Access Setup Guide


 
  • The Cisco Security Connector: Secure Access Setup Guide only explains how to configure the Secure Access portion of the Cisco Security Connector (CSC). For information about how to configure your Mobile Device Manager (MDM) system, see your MDM system's documentation.

  • The Cisco Security Connector is only supported for DNS policies.

The Cisco Security Connector provides visibility and control for organization-owned and MDM managed mobile Apple iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads. The CSC's Secure Access component directs DNS traffic, including functionality for the intelligent proxy, to the Cisco Secure Access cloud where filtering against malicious sites, such as phishing sites or sites that exfiltrate information, takes place.

The CSC's Secure Access portion does not require an on-demand or always-on VPN or a full proxy to gain complete visibility and control through cloud security (not locally on the device). This makes for both easier management and simpler, more effective security.


 

Your iOS mobile device must be managed by a MDM system.


 

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), which protects users by redirecting browsing to a cloud-based host, is not supported on mobile devices running iOS or Android.
