Pulse Secure is a leading provider of protected access solutions. The Pulse Secure platform enables organizations to deliver remote access to applications and resources while maintaining infrastructure defense.
 
Key features
Pulse Secure delivers a set of capabilities designed for modern IT environments. Core elements include a virtual private network solution, Zero Trust capabilities, two-factor authentication, and endpoint posture enforcement. Administrators use a centralized control dashboard to configure policies and monitor connections.
 
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 architectures models for both local and cloud-hosted environments. Communication is protected with transport layer security, and user traffic is inspected by protection modules.
 
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 SSO. The platform enforces granular access policies based on user identity, device posture, and network context. With multi-factor authentication, organizations can require additional proofs to reduce credential risk.
 
Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates packet inspection and integrates with threat intelligence to detect and block harmful actions. Administrators can define defense policies that isolate compromised devices and apply 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 appliance-based deployments, VM deployments, and cloud-native instances. The management console simplifies tasks like SSL certificate handling, rule propagation, and firmware updates. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides high availability configurations and load balancing capabilities to maintain throughput under heavy load.
