Introduction to cisco-secure-client-win-arm64-4.3.4015.8192-isecompliance-webdeploy-k9.pkg
The cisco-secure-client-win-arm64-4.3.4015.8192-isecompliance-webdeploy-k9.pkg is Cisco’s enterprise-grade security solution for Windows 11 ARM64 devices, combining VPN connectivity with automated compliance validation through Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). Released in Q1 2025 as part of Secure Client 4.3.x branch, this web-deploy package enables centralized management of Microsoft Surface Pro X and other ARM-based endpoints in zero-trust network environments.
Designed for government agencies and healthcare organizations requiring FIPS 140-3 validation, this build integrates hardware-bound encryption with Microsoft Pluton security processors. It maintains backward compatibility with x86_64 Windows 10/11 systems while optimizing for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 chipset architectures.
