More importantly, it is unrealistic for any product team and/or even 3rd party product teams/applications/vendors to maintain test beds in which continuously test for potential compatibility issues amongst others products.

In my previous email I requested for Symantec installer file and not the MAC device as we will not have access to all 3rd party applications as the list as the list of 3rd party products is MASSIVE and always changing. Again, SEP is the one determining (and falsely determining) their setup is not complete, even though there is all indication that the User(s) successfully completed the SEP setup.Īnother way to look at this is An圜onnect does not interact or hook into SEP in anyway therefore, SEP can only be solely responsible for why their own product is claiming their setup has not completed. The fact that the An圜onnect socket filter might be resolving the issue is because the Socket Filter is no longer active which however does *not simply imply that An圜onnect is root cause. If this was An圜onnect issue as well we would have received multiple calls by now which is not the case at the moment. which should have completed the SEP setup…but apparently does not, where SEP subsequently and repeatedly pops up their ‘You are at risk!’ indicating their own setup is not complete. It seems that in this case, which is supported by their own article, that SEP is responsible for the incompatibility….moreover, which starts by falsely claiming their setup has not finished (the You are at risk! Pop up)… even though the User(s) – we assume and they/Symantec assume - clearly have subsequently clicked on their (Symantec’s) Allow Network Content Filtering pop up. The above being said, SEP, by nature being an AntiMalware product, primary responsibility is to try to determine if there are anomalies on endpoints and/or unexpected behaviour of certain files, actions, etc, etc. (not suggesting this is the case, but just pointing out that Socket Filters are used by many other applications as well). Please note that the behaviour by SEP could very well occur with any other 3rd party application that installs a Socket Filter. The two (2) Socket Filters should be independent of one another.

It is not just by Symantec update we are saying the issue is not on our end. Let me rephrase what I had informed earlier in my email. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I think our option is to wait Broadcom / Symantec to fix it, however, their response is very slow, and no follow up email from them. I have received followup email from Cisco below. Try this at your own risk, ideally on a test Mac first.

Perhaps Cisco technical support's reaction to me removing part of their An圜onnect software will push Cisco and Symantec to fix this issue properly. I'll update the article on Cisco's support forum tomorrow morning too. I'll add screenshots to this post in the morning, because everybody likes pictures, and I'll proofread it properly, because nobody likes spelling mistakes. Now, it's approaching midnight here in Europe, so I'll leave it there for tonight. so far, the Cisco An圜onnect client works, and SEP still works and has not displayed the warning. These extensions will be removed if you continue. MacOS displayed a warning that the application "Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filter" is hosting System Extensions. yes, very dangerous, I know, but trust me, I'm a professional. What I did this time, was manually delete the "Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filter" from the \Applications\Cisco An圜onnect folder. I then removed (not just disabled) the three Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filters that were present in System Preferences -> Network, and the warning screen stopped appearing. and then immediately the SEP warning appeared. until I rebooted.Īfter the reboot, the Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filter kept prompting me until I gave in and enabled it. There were no Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filters present under System Preferences -> Network, and my SEP installation did not displayed the warning prompt for over 30 minutes (it never managed more than 10 minutes before).Ĭisco An圜onnect VPN client still worked.

When the An圜onnect installer prompted me to enable the Socket Filter, I ignored the prompt, and I let the An圜onnect installation continue. So what I did instead, was to reinstall the Cisco An圜onnect client, but this time I did NOT allow the Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filter to run. I tried disabling all three Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filters that were present in System Preferences -> Network, but that did not fix the problem.

SEP and Cisco An圜onnect continue to function correctly Removing the "Cisco An圜onnect Socket Filter" application from the \Applications\Cisco An圜onnect folder stops the SEP warning from appearing.

Your dedication in trying to resolve the issue is appreciated, and has inspired me to take matters into my hands to find an unofficial solution.
