Installed with VPN client used to connect to a network remotely (usually for work). Worry only if you don't use/have installed VPN for remote access.

Cisco VPN Client. If you have Cisco VPN installed for access to office/client networks, you would know. If you know nothing about it, then disable the service in Computer Management, as it could potentially be a trojan horse.
