Cisco Secure Client puts your infrastructure at risk

Secure remote connections

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) devices and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) work to expand the attack surface area of your network, while also requiring constant patches to provide a baseline level of security. Miss an update and you lose complete control to your system.

Documented vulnerabilities like in Remote Access VPN, Cisco ASA software, and AnyConnect VPN service have resulted in Denial of Service attacks, bringing services down. Tailscale’s fundamental design as a decentralized network avoids concentrated bottlenecks that are ripe for exploitation.

From federal enterprises to large business, there is documented risk to betting and investing into an ecosystem that is consistently exploitable.
