Pulse Secure is a well-known provider of secure access solutions. The Pulse Secure solution enables organizations to deliver remote access to applications and resources while maintaining infrastructure defense.
Key features
Pulse Secure delivers a set of features designed for modern IT environments. Core parts include a virtual private network solution, Zero Trust support, two-factor authentication, and device compliance checks. Administrators use a centralized control dashboard to configure settings and monitor connections.
Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of access gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional SaaS component for orchestration. The system supports elastic deployment models for both local and cloud-based 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 user directories such as AD and supports SAML 2.0 for SSO. The platform enforces granular access policies based on user attributes, endpoint health, and network location. 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 intelligence to detect and block malicious activity. Administrators can define protection rules that isolate compromised devices and apply network segmentation to limit the blast radius of security incidents. Logging and audit trails support incident response and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include hardware appliances, virtual instances, and cloud-native instances. The admin portal simplifies tasks like cert management, policy distribution, and system patching. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides high availability configurations and traffic distribution capabilities to maintain throughput under heavy load. |
