Petersoics

Pulse Secure is a leading provider of safe connectivity solutions. The Pulse Secure suite enables organizations to deliver remote access to applications and resources while maintaining network protection.

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 endpoint posture enforcement. Administrators use a centralized management console to configure policies 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 deployment models for both on-premises and cloud-based environments. Communication is protected with TLS-based encryption, and user traffic is inspected by defense mechanisms.

Authentication and access control
Pulse Secure integrates with existing https://github.com/ivantihub/Pulse-Secure/releases identity stores such as LDAP and supports Security Assertion Markup Language for single sign-on. The platform enforces granular access policies based on user attributes, device compliance, and network context. With MFA, organizations can require extra authentication to reduce account compromise.

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 microsegmentation to limit the exposure of security incidents. Logging and audit trails support response procedures and compliance reporting.

Deployment and management
Deployment options include hardware appliances, VM deployments, and SaaS offerings. The control center simplifies tasks like certificate management, policy rollout, and system patching. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides high availability configurations and load balancing capabilities to maintain throughput under heavy load.
