Introduction to “anyconnect-linux64-4.10.07073-predeploy-rpm-k9.tar.gz” Software
The “anyconnect-linux64-4.10.07073-predeploy-rpm-k9.tar.gz” represents Cisco’s enterprise-grade VPN client package for Linux systems, specifically designed for automated deployment in large-scale network environments. As part of Cisco Secure Client 4.10.07073 release (formerly AnyConnect), this RPM predeployment bundle enables centralized installation across Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and compatible distributions.
This version provides military-grade encryption through IPsec/IKEv2 and DTLS protocols while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy ASA 5500-X series firewalls. Cisco officially recommends this build for organizations requiring FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules in government or financial sectors. The package supports automated updates through Cisco’s SecureX platform integration.
