Pulse Secure is a well-known provider of safe connectivity solutions. The Pulse Secure solution enables organizations to deliver telework access to applications and resources while maintaining infrastructure defense.
Key features
Pulse Secure delivers a set of capabilities designed for modern IT environments. Core components include a VPN solution, Zero Trust architecture, multi-factor authentication, and device compliance checks. Administrators use a centralized administration portal to configure policies and monitor sessions.
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 deployment models for both on-premises and cloud-based environments. Communication is protected with TLS-based encryption, and user traffic is inspected by protection modules.
Authentication and access control
Pulse Secure integrates with existing

The platform enforces granular access controls based on user attributes, device posture, and network context. With two-step verification, organizations can require additional proofs to reduce account compromise.
Security and threat protection
Pulse Secure incorporates packet inspection and integrates with threat feeds to detect and block malicious activity. Administrators can define defense policies that isolate compromised devices and apply microsegmentation to limit the exposure of security incidents. Logging and activity records support IR workflows and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include physical devices, virtual instances, and SaaS offerings. The admin portal simplifies tasks like cert management, rule propagation, and system patching. For large enterprises, Pulse Secure provides failover configurations and traffic distribution capabilities to maintain responsiveness under heavy load.
