Pulse Connect Secure
Zero Trust Secure Access from Any Device to Apps & Services in the Cloud and Data Center
Secure Access to Cloud Platforms like Office 365, Salesforce, and Dropbox
Enterprises need to secure access for mobile workforces while boosting productivity and compliance. Simple, seamless, and friction-free connectivity is crucial for business continuity, productivity, and expansion. Cloud Secure’s Single Sign-On (SSO) eliminates workers’ needs for multiple passwords and provides automatic access to applications and services.
Security should not be a barrier – workers don’t care where their apps are coming from. Access should be seamless and transparent.
Blending secure access across applications deployed in data centers, and public and private clouds should be simple, not a complex exercise in administration and interoperation.
As applications become increasingly dispersed, ensuring that the devices accessing data are compliant is critical in preventing data breaches and malware spread, especially as more of us work remotely.
For an increasingly BYOD mobile workforce and integration with leading EMM/MDM solutions for security and compliance enforcement.
Cloud Secure Advantages
With industry-standard SAML 2.0-based SSO, a seamless user experience, integration with leading IdP providers, Pulse Cloud Secure offers next-generation secure access. Other solutions do not offer a friction-free user experience for simplified, secure hybrid IT access, nor the peace of mind with stateful endpoint host checking for broader compliance.

Richard Buell Sutton Lawyers
“RBS has been using Pulse Secure for secure remote access to corporate resources for many years. When the Covid-19 pandemic caused our office to close, in March 2020, the ease of use that the Secure Web Portal provides our remote users was a lifesaver. The system is scalable and licensing flexible enough to ramp up the firm needs.”
- Ken Young, IT Team Lead, Richard Buell Sutton Lawyers
Indiana University
"When Indiana University moved to online learning this spring due to COVID, use of our Pulse Secure VPN skyrocketed overnight. The Pulse Secure support team was quick to assist us to ensure the reliability and scalability of our VPN environment for the immediate situation as well as help us plan for the long-term remote access needs for our faculty, staff and students."

Brethren Mutual Insurance Company
"Brethren Mutual has been using Pulse Secure for remote access for several years. When the Pandemic hit and caused us to close the office in April, we were able to quickly implement our “ICE” license. This gave us the time to switch our licensing to be able to cover the large change in remote workers without make any changes to our current setup. The flexible licensing and the ability of the appliance to handle our total number shows how well the solution works for our environment and for many others."
- Tom Harley, Director of Information Security Systems, Brethren Mutual Insurance Company
