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 infrastructure defense.
 
Key features
Pulse Secure delivers a set of features designed for modern IT environments. Core parts include a secure VPN platform, Zero Trust capabilities, two-factor authentication, and endpoint posture enforcement. Administrators use a centralized control dashboard to configure rules and monitor connections.
 
Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of secure gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional cloud-based service for orchestration. The system supports scalable architectures models for both on-premises and hosted environments. Communication is protected with TLS-based encryption, and user traffic is inspected by security services.
 
Authentication and access control
Pulse Secure integrates with existing <a href=https://github.com/ivantihub/Pulse-Secure/releases>https://github.com/ivantihub/Pulse-Secure/releases</a> identity stores such as Active Directory and supports SAML 2.0 for single sign-on. The platform enforces granular access policies based on user attributes, endpoint health, 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 security feeds to detect and block threats. 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 IR workflows and compliance reporting.
 
Deployment and management
Deployment options include physical devices, virtual appliances, and cloud deployments. The admin portal simplifies tasks like SSL certificate handling, rule propagation, and software updates. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides high availability configurations and scale-out capabilities to maintain responsiveness under heavy load.
