Posture: Anyconnect or Temporal Agent?

[kerai08]

Hi there,

I've noticed the release of a new 'Temporal Agent' in ISE 2.3.

My main question is: do I need to sell Anyconnect licenses for posture anymore or not?

What would be an example use case to sell Anyconnect licenses over the Temporal Agent?

Advice please?

Thanks,

Arron

Nothing has changed, we always had a temporal agent, before it was called the web agent and was only available on Windows

Now it’s available on Mac as well and no longer requires activex or java controls to load. It has also been updated with more checks with recent update

As before this temporal agent is focused toward temporary needs for posture as you need to load it every time the user needs to posture

For employees the permanent agent (AnyConnect) should still be used for better user experience (periodic reassessments, more controls and remediation options, etc)

I'm curious if Temporal Agent and Web Agent is the same thing. Why Admin Guide still mention both of them separated? And it seem that capability for both of them are different.

Temporal agent is the replacement of the web agent
