AnyConnect VPN connection concerns

Seeing some AnyConnect VPN rogue IP’s trying to connect this evening, not sure if they are actually making a connection into our firewall..?

 

example of log:

 

Dec 1 20:22:05 AnyConnect VPN AnyConnect VPN connection event msg: Local-IP[OUR MX95 WAN IP] Local-Port[443] Prot[TCP] Peer-IP[71.239.88.253] Peer-Port[51727] Conn-ID[9] TLSv1.2 connection established. Cipher: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384(49200)

 

Not seeing any actual AnyConnect VPN client connected that are suspicious, just these random TLSv1.2 attempts.

 

We have AnyConnect VPN enabled using SAML with DUO 2-factor setup for VPN allowed users.

 

thanks

I'm not sure but my suggestion is to perform a test connection from a client device to the MX but failing authentication. Then check the MX logs and see if you see a similar event logged or not.

This is a "normal" HTTPS scan you are seeing.  It could be an attacker.  It could be a search engine.  It could even be Shodan.

Thank you for the feedback. My concern is if it’s an attacker, do these logs confirm the connection into our network was successful?  We also have IDS advanced security with Meraki.
