SINGAPORE, May 13 (Korea Bizwire) – Pulse Secure, the leading provider of software-defined Secure Access solutions, today announced its new suite of secure access solutions for hybrid IT that provides organizations a simplified, modular and integrated approach to modernize access productivity, management and Zero Trust control. Pulse Access Suite Plus helps businesses of all sizes and industries consolidate disparate security access tools to gain seamless, secure access to applications and resources from any location, network and device.
Converging cybersecurity technology stacks
According to Enterprise Strategy Group, 36% of enterprises are actively integrating disparate security analytics and operations tools to form a more cohesive security software architecture. CISOs are seeking scalable, intelligent, and automated solutions that can greatly improve security efficacy, operational efficiency, and business enablement. At the same time, more than half of organizations consider seamless compatibility with their on-premises infrastructure as the most important consideration within their hybrid IT strategy. As such, architectures and integrated platforms will continue to supersede best-of-breed point tools in 2020 to align with the changing security needs of hybrid IT, mobile workers, and IoT device growth.*
“Many organizations have begun to adopt a platform-based approach to cybersecurity by consolidating multiple point tools in order to increase efficiency, agility and effectiveness. Especially considering today’s environment, the ability to easily leverage existing investments to facilitate this strategy has become even more important,” said John Grady, network security analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Pulse Access Suite’s modularity, integration and capabilities offers organizations a compelling value proposition for hybrid IT security.”
“Pulse Secure allowed us to standardize on a more integrated platform that would optimize our resources and investments, and better aligned our secure access vision,” said Hiren Patel at Plymouth Rock Assurance. “With Pulse Suite, it was extremely easy to roll out new SaaS application access and broaden our BYOD support. Beyond ensuring our remote user’s productivity, it saved our IT staff considerable time. Overall, we’ve been able to better respond to business needs with broader access oversight.”
