Pulse Secure is a prominent provider of safe connectivity 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 functions designed for modern IT environments. Core parts include a secure VPN platform, Zero Trust support, multi-factor authentication, and device compliance checks. Administrators use a centralized management console to configure settings and monitor sessions.
Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional cloud-based service for orchestration. The system supports scalable deployment models for both on-premises and hosted environments. Communication is protected with TLS-based 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 repositories such as LDAP and supports Security Assertion Markup Language for single sign-on. The platform enforces granular authorization policies based on user identity, device compliance, and geolocation. With two-step verification, organizations can require extra authentication to reduce credential risk.
Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates packet inspection and integrates with threat feeds to detect and block malicious activity. Administrators can define protection rules that isolate compromised devices and apply network segmentation to limit the attack surface of security incidents. Logging and forensic logs support incident response and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include physical devices, VM deployments, and SaaS offerings. The control center simplifies tasks like cert management, policy rollout, and software updates. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides failover configurations and traffic distribution capabilities to maintain responsiveness under heavy load. |
