About Cisco Security Connector
This application requires licenses for Cisco Clarity and/or Cisco Umbrella.
Cisco Security Connector is a new endpoint security solution providing unprecedented visibility and protection for organization-owned iOS devices running in supervised mode. It brings the power of Cisco’s collective intelligence and investigative features to Apple's mobility space. It is not a global proxy or VPN. Organizations can deploy and manage the Connector using Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) so no user interaction is needed on the iPhone or iPad.
Ideal for numerous industries and uses, including education, healthcare, distribution centers, field service, and retail.
Optimized for use with Cisco Meraki Systems Manager.
