Pulse Secure is a leading provider of secure access solutions. The Pulse Secure solution 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 components include a virtual private network solution, Zero Trust support, multi-factor authentication, and endpoint posture enforcement. Administrators use a centralized management console to configure rules and monitor connections.
Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of access gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional cloud service for orchestration. The system supports scalable deployment models for both local and hosted environments. Communication is protected with TLS encryption, and user traffic is inspected by protection modules.
Authentication and access control
Pulse Secure integrates with existing https://github.com/ivantihub/Pulse-Secure/releases identity stores such as AD and supports SAML for SSO. The platform enforces granular access controls based on user identity, device posture, and network location. With two-step verification, organizations can require additional proofs to reduce credential risk.
Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates traffic inspection and integrates with threat feeds to detect and block harmful actions. Administrators can define protection rules that isolate compromised devices and apply segmentation to limit the exposure of security incidents. Logging and forensic logs support IR workflows and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include hardware appliances, virtual appliances, and cloud deployments. The management console simplifies tasks like cert management, policy rollout, and firmware updates. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides high availability configurations and traffic distribution capabilities to maintain performance under heavy load. |
