A cement anchor is a general term to describe a fastner that is attached to concrete. Common concrete anchors have a lead tip that mushrooms and "grabs" the concrete. Usually a hole is first drilled into the concrete. Then a concrete anchor is driven into the hole using a hammer. This allows for attaching wood or metal to concrete.

How do you mount a mailbox on a cement wall?

Your local home store will have anchors for cement that accept a standard size screw (probably a #10 or #12 for this purpose).
