Pulse Secure is a leading 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 features designed for modern IT environments. Core elements include a secure VPN platform, Zero Trust support, MFA, and device compliance checks. Administrators use a centralized control dashboard to configure rules and monitor sessions.

Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of access gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional cloud-based service for orchestration. The system supports elastic deployment models for both local 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 user directories such as AD and supports SAML 2.0 for unified authentication. The platform enforces granular authorization policies based on user context, endpoint health, and geolocation. With MFA, organizations can require secondary verification to reduce account compromise.

Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates deep packet inspection and integrates with threat intelligence 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 activity records support response procedures and compliance reporting.

Deployment and management
Deployment options include hardware appliances, virtual appliances, and SaaS offerings. The admin portal simplifies tasks like cert management, policy rollout, and software updates. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides high availability configurations and scale-out capabilities to maintain responsiveness under heavy load.
