EDIT: I guess the SecureX platform is going EOL July 31, 2024 😣 Perhaps this is still a good avenue for the initial deployment for large organizations

Fellow Admins,

Figured I’d mention it for folks who utilize Cisco products, namely Umbrella as it’s pretty darn helpful.

Now that the Cisco Umbrella Roaming Client is going End of Life we will need to deploy the Cisco Secure Client in its place.

It seems like the default method is to hop into the Umbrella dashboard where you can download the Secure Client as well as a .JSON configuration sidecar which will both be needed at the time of install.

Nasty…

So I went digging and I discovered that you can actually signup/login to the Cisco SecureX platform (free) where it’ll let you manually configure all of the various Cisco products (AnyConenct, ISE, Umbrella, etc.) or simply by uploading your configuration file. This then spits out a .exe that embeds the configuration within it so folks can better deploy it remotely such as through an RMM solution.

This is done in the Insights Dashboard > Secure Client > Deployment Management
