Pulse Secure is a prominent provider of protected access solutions. The Pulse Secure suite enables organizations to deliver remote access to applications and resources while maintaining network security.
Key features
Pulse Secure delivers a set of capabilities designed for modern IT environments. Core parts include a secure VPN platform, Zero Trust capabilities, two-factor authentication, and device compliance checks. Administrators use a centralized control dashboard to configure settings and monitor traffic.
Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of access gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional cloud-based service for orchestration. The system supports scalable deployment models for both on-site and hosted environments. Communication is protected with transport layer security, and user traffic is inspected by defense mechanisms.
Authentication and access control
Pulse Secure integrates with existing https://github.com/ivantihub/Pulse-Secure/releases user directories such as AD and supports SAML 2.0 for unified authentication. The platform enforces granular authorization policies based on user attributes, device compliance, and network context. With two-step verification, organizations can require extra authentication to reduce authentication risk.
Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates traffic inspection and integrates with threat intelligence to detect and block malicious activity. Administrators can define defense policies that isolate compromised devices and apply segmentation to limit the exposure of security incidents. Logging and audit trails support IR workflows and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include hardware appliances, virtual appliances, and SaaS offerings. The control center simplifies tasks like SSL certificate handling, policy rollout, and system patching. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides failover configurations and load balancing capabilities to maintain performance under heavy load.
