Pulse Secure recognised for leadership in network access control
Pulse Secure, the provider of software-defined secure access solutions, has been recognised as a technology leader and among the top three performers for technical excellence in the 2020 network access control (NAC) market report by research firm Quadrant Knowledge Solutions.
The SPARKS Matrix™: Network Access Control (NAC), 2020 report by Quadrant Knowledge Solutions determined that the NAC market is expected to grow by 17.2% CAGR from a market size of US$1,580 billion in 2019 to US$4.07 billion by 2025*.
“We rated Pulse Secure in the top three NAC vendors that scored the highest overall ratings, and a frontrunner in accommodating on-going and emerging trends – it is highly flexible, competitive and scalable,” said Piyush Dewangan, Industry Research Manager at Quadrant Knowledge Solutions.
“With recent enhancements, Pulse Secure is well-positioned to deliver integrated secure access capabilities based on a Zero-Trust Security model for hybrid IT with granular classification, contextual visibility, and adaptive access control.”
According to the report, NAC is an approach in network security to manage and control access of endpoint devices and users to corporate networks based on an organisation's security policies. Organisations access policies can be based on endpoint configuration, authentication, and/or user's identity.
The report adds that NAC is increasingly becoming mature and accepted as a key technology to improve an organisation's overall security defenses. Both large and mid-sized organisations are looking at full-scale deployments and extending NAC security to a greater number of devices and endpoints.
The Strategic Performance Assessment and Ranking (SPARKS) Matrix report cites Pulse Secure as offering a flexible and scalable enterprise-grade NAC solution to support the requirement of large enterprises with “an easy path to NAC with wizard-based configurations to start with rich endpoint discovery, profiling, inventory and guest management features, and then extend functionality for granular user and endpoint compliance enforcement, automated threat response, and scaled management.”
Among the capabilities highlighted in the report that earned Pulse Policy Secure (NAC) a technical leadership ranking are:
- Comprehensive capabilities for 360-degree visibility into remote and network connected devices
- Automated or self-service provisioning of guest, bring your own device (BYOD), and Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Endpoint compliance, and enables automated threat response and remediation with built-in UEBA capability
Pulse Policy Secure, as part of the Pulse Access Suite, offers enterprises operational advantages from common unified client, policy engine and system management which results in more rapid deployment, integrated visibility and consistent access control policy for data center and cloud*.
“With the widespread move towards Zero Trust, we have seen an increase in the adoption of our enterprise NAC solution by organisations seeking an easier, extensible and more cost-effective alternative to other leading NAC products,” said Ganesh Nakhawa, Director of portfolio solutions at Pulse Secure.
“Our simple, modular and scalable approach to secure access allows enterprises to deliver user and device accessibility while ensuring end-to-end visibility and access compliance requirements. We are honoured to receive this NAC market distinction as a technology leader, and invite customers and resellers to take our solution for a test drive.”
Traditionally, the adoption of security technologies is primarily driven by compliance to broader global regulations. In the global market, banking and financial services, education, government and healthcare sectors are the primary users of NAC solutions. However, organisations from several industry verticals are increasingly focusing on improving their security measures to enhance overall security. Information technology/operational technology (IT/OT) convergence has resulted in increased exposure to cyberthreats to the industrial environment, and NAC vendors are expanding their capabilities to support IT/OT convergence*.
Pulse Secure provides software-driven secure access solutions for people, devices, things and services that improve visibility, protection and productivity. Its suites integrate cloud, mobile, application and network access to enable hybrid IT in a zero trust world. Over 24,000 enterprises and service providers entrust Pulse Secure to empower their mobile workforce to securely access applications and information in the data centre and cloud while ensuring business compliance.
