Introduction to anyconnect-linux64-4.10.07073-predeploy-rpm-k9.tar.gz
The anyconnect-linux64-4.10.07073-predeploy-rpm-k9.tar.gz is Cisco’s Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) predeployment package for AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.10.07073, designed for enterprise-scale VPN deployments on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS systems. This version specifically addresses security vulnerabilities identified in earlier 4.10.x releases while optimizing performance for 64-bit Linux environments requiring RPM-based distribution.
As part of Cisco’s Secure Client suite, this package enables centralized management of VPN connections, posture assessments, and threat defense configurations. The “predeploy-rpm” designation indicates its specialized format for automated enterprise deployments through Linux package managers rather than manual user installations.

Obtaining the Software Package
While Cisco typically distributes AnyConnect packages through licensed channels, https://www.ioshub.net provides authenticated access for verified enterprise users:
- Complete $5 identity verification via PCI-compliant payment gateway
- Submit organizational domain validation through automated email confirmation
- Receive cryptographically-signed download link within 15 minutes
This technical specification aligns with Cisco’s Secure Client documentation framework. System administrators should validate package integrity using Cisco’s published SHA-384 checksums before deployment.
