Cisco Security Connector

Enterprise-Grade Visibility and Threat Protection for iOS

For the first time, gain full visibility into iOS network traffic and block malicious sites — on cellular, public Wi-Fi, and corporate networks. Built through the Apple and Cisco partnership for the modern mobile workforce.

Complete iOS Security for the Mobile Enterprise

Apple and Cisco partnered to build Cisco Security Connector — the first app that gives enterprise security teams full visibility into all network traffic on iOS devices. Whether your workforce connects over cellular, public Wi-Fi, or corporate networks, Security Connector extends your existing Cisco Umbrella and Cisco Clarity protections to every iPhone and iPad in your organization.

  • Visibility into all iOS network activity — DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS
  • DNS and IP-layer blocking of malicious and unwanted destinations
  • Cloud-managed through Cisco Umbrella — no on-device configuration
  • Deploys silently through your existing EMM/MDM platform

Four Pillars of iOS Security

Cisco Security Connector delivers the visibility and protection your security team needs, without disrupting the user experience your workforce expects.

In-depth visibility into iOS network traffic

In-Depth Visibility

Gather all network traffic data from iOS devices — including DNS queries, web requests, and app connections — so your security team can identify threats, enforce policies, and investigate incidents with the same depth available on managed desktops.

Protection anywhere on any network

Protection Anywhere

Block connections to malicious domains and IPs at the DNS and IP layer — whether users are on cellular data, public Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, or a hotel network. Protection travels with the device, not the network perimeter.

Simple cloud-managed deployment

Simple to Deploy

Security Connector is entirely cloud-managed through Cisco Umbrella. Deploy it silently to managed devices through your EMM platform — no user interaction, no VPN profiles, no help desk tickets.

Coverage for managed and BYOD iOS devices

iOS Coverage

Protect both fully managed corporate devices and unmanaged BYOD iPhones and iPads. Extend consistent security policies across your entire iOS fleet regardless of device ownership model.

Broader iOS Solutions for the Enterprise

Cisco Security Connector is part of a larger Apple and Cisco initiative to make iOS the best platform for business. These integrated capabilities work together to deliver a superior mobile experience.

Optimized Wi-Fi for iOS enterprise devices

Optimized Wi-Fi

iOS devices intelligently connect to the best available access point on Cisco wireless networks, reducing roaming delays and delivering faster, more reliable connectivity across campus and branch locations.

Prioritized business applications on iOS

Prioritized Business Apps

Cisco networks automatically prioritize traffic from business-critical iOS applications, ensuring that tools like Webex, Salesforce, and enterprise apps get the bandwidth they need even on congested networks.

Effortless meetings on Cisco and Apple platforms

Effortless Meetings

Start Webex meetings directly from your iPhone or iPad with one tap. Deep integration between Cisco collaboration tools and iOS makes joining, sharing, and presenting seamless for mobile workers.

Integrated collaboration on iOS

Integrated Collaboration

Cisco and Apple have deeply integrated collaboration workflows so your team can move between voice calls, video meetings, and messaging on iOS without switching apps or losing context.

Duo Push mobile authentication for iOS

Mobile Authentication with Duo Push

Verify user identity with a single tap using Duo Push on iOS. Multi-factor authentication that is fast, phishing-resistant, and works across all your applications — cloud and on-premises.
