How do I install Cisco Secure Client (VPN)?

Cisco Secure Client is the virtual private network (VPN) we use to securely connect to Concordia's network remotely. It allows you to access all resources you would on-campus from a remote location.

Note: This guide is for Windows computers only. For setting up the VPN on a Mac, please contact us via ticket or phone for assistance.

Installation

Open Software Center (you can search for it in the Windows search bar and open the app)
Select Applications from the menu on the left
Click on Cisco Secure Client, then click Install

Note: If you don't see the Cisco Secure Client in Software Center, click on Options -> Computer Maintenance -> Sync Policy to update the list of applications. It may take a minute or two for the Cisco Secure Client to appear in the application list. If it still doesn't appear, check with your supervisor to make sure they've submitted a request for your remote access, and have them follow up on the request.
