In preparation for the Big Sur macOS release on Thursday, November 12, Cisco AnyConnect clients on Mac computers must be updated to version 4.9.03047 in order to connect to the Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Both managed and unmanaged Macs running Cisco AnyConnect clients will auto-upgrade when trying to connect to the VPN—either when the client automatically tries to reconnect to a session or when users successfully log in to the Cisco AnyConnect client.

If you have any questions or you experience any issues accessing the VPN, please contact the ITS Support Center at 703-993-8870 or support@gmu.edu.
