Cisco launches secure iPhone app

Cisco’s AnyConnect app is now available from the App Store, offering secure network connectivity to mobile employees from any Apple iOS 4.1 device.

According to Cisco, AnyConnect provides “reliable and easy-to-deploy encrypted network connectivity from any Apple iOS 4 device by delivering persistent corporate access for users on the go.

“Whether providing access to business email, a virtual desktop session, or most other iOS 4 applications, AnyConnect enables business-critical application connectivity.

"Through the use of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS), TCP-based applications and latency-sensitive traffic (such as voice over IP [VoIP]) are provided an optimised communication path to corporate resources.”
