A Cisco AnyConnect client establishes a SSL VPN connection with an ASA at the corporate office. An engineer must ensure that the client computer meets the enterprise security policy. Which feature…

Endpoint Assessment (without 'Advanced') only performs posture checks and reports results; it cannot update or remediate non-compliant endpoints.

Cisco Secure Desktop provides a secure vault and session cleanup for remote sessions but does not assess or update security software on the endpoint.

Basic Host Scan only collects and reports endpoint posture information to the ASA; it has no capability to update or remediate the client.

Advanced Endpoint Assessment goes beyond posture checking by providing automated remediation - it can update antivirus definitions, enable firewalls, and patch software to bring an endpoint into compliance with the enterprise security policy. This distinguishes it from Basic Host Scan, which only checks and reports status without taking corrective action. A separate license is required for this feature on the ASA.
