Pulse Secure is a leading provider of protected access solutions. The Pulse Secure suite enables organizations to deliver telework access to applications and resources while maintaining network security.
Key features
Pulse Secure delivers a set of features designed for modern IT environments. Core elements include a secure VPN platform, Zero Trust capabilities, MFA, and endpoint posture enforcement. Administrators use a centralized administration portal to configure policies and monitor connections.
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 cloud-based environments. Communication is protected with TLS encryption, and user traffic is inspected by defense mechanisms.
Authentication and access control
Pulse Secure integrates with existing https://github.com/ivantihub/Pulse-Secure/releases identity repositories such as AD and supports SAML for single sign-on. The platform enforces granular access policies based on user attributes, endpoint health, and geolocation. With MFA, organizations can require additional proofs to reduce account compromise.
Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates traffic inspection and integrates with threat feeds to detect and block threats. Administrators can define security policies that isolate compromised devices and apply network segmentation to limit the blast radius of security incidents. Logging and audit trails support response procedures and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include physical devices, virtual instances, 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. |
