Having run a web search for Cisco AnyConnect Catalina finds the following support notice:
Cisco AnyConnect Users With macOS 10.15 Might Not Be Able To Establish VPN Connection or Might Receive System Pop-up Messages—Software Upgrade Recommended
Cisco AnyConnect and HostScan require updated releases for compatibility with the upcoming macOS Catalina release (10.15). Beginning with macOS Catalina release (10.15), the operating system will no longer support the executing of 32-bit binaries. Additionally, applications must be cryptographically notarized in order to be installed by the operating system. Cisco AnyConnect 4.8.00175 is the first version that officially supports operation on macOS Catalina and contains no 32-bit code.
Which implies there’s a bug or mis-configuration here. If there’s no newer AnyConnect version and no other support notes, contact Cisco Support. This is a Cisco app, so Cisco Support will have a better position to identify and address any app issues.
