help Ivanti Connect Secure FAQ
Was Ivanti Connect Secure previously called Pulse Connect Secure?
Yes. Ivanti Connect Secure is the product formerly known as Pulse Connect Secure, so older documentation and client references may use the Pulse name. Ivanti's current materials describe it as an enterprise secure-access and remote-access platform.
What kind of VPN does Ivanti Connect Secure provide?
It provides enterprise remote access through SSL VPN capabilities, with options for Layer 3 and application-specific Layer 4 access. Organizations use it to authenticate remote workers and control which internal applications or networks they can reach.
Can employees connect from both computers and mobile devices?
Ivanti documents client and browser-based access for desktop and mobile endpoints, with integrations for modern authentication methods. The supported operating systems, client versions, and authentication options depend on the gateway release and deployment model.

Ivanti Connect Secure has been affected by serious security advisories, including CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887 in the 2024 vulnerability wave.
