Architecture
The architecture of Pulse Secure consists of access gateways deployed at the network edge and an optional cloud service for orchestration. The system supports scalable deployment models for both on-premises and hosted 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 repositories such as AD and supports SAML 2.0 for SSO. The platform enforces granular authorization policies based on user context, device compliance, and geolocation. With MFA, organizations can require extra authentication to reduce credential risk.
Security and threat protection

Administrators can define protection rules that isolate compromised devices and apply network segmentation to limit the attack surface of security incidents. Logging and forensic logs support incident response and compliance reporting.
Deployment and management
Deployment options include physical devices, virtual instances, and SaaS offerings. The admin portal 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. |
