Introduction to “cisco-secure-client-macos-4.3.2726.4353-isecompliance-predeploy-k9.dmg” Software

The “cisco-secure-client-macos-4.3.2726.4353-isecompliance-predeploy-k9.dmg” package represents Cisco’s endpoint compliance validation solution for macOS environments, released in Q4 2024 under the Secure Client 4.3.x Extended Support branch. This predeployment bundle integrates with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 3.2+ to enforce dynamic access policies based on real-time device health checks and security posture assessment.

Designed for organizations requiring NIST 800-207 zero-trust compliance, this build supports macOS 12 Monterey through macOS 15 Sequoia across both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures. System administrators leverage this package for automated deployment of posture assessment agents to managed devices connecting through ASA 5500-X Series Firewalls or Firepower 4100+ appliances.
