September 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Pulse Secure announced an update to its Pulse Connect Secure mobile VPN platform that allows any connection to be secured using Google’s free two-factor
authentication system, Google Authenticator.
Google Authenticator is an application that implements two-step verification
services using the Time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP) and
HMAC-based One-time Password Algorithm (HOTP). The app is available for
Android, iOS, BlackBerry and does not require the use of a Google account or
any connection to Google services.
Pulse Connect Secure uses a policy based, self-service enrolment capability
to allow administrators to quickly secure all applications, including SaaS
applications like Office365 while dramatically reducing IT management
overheads.
The new Pulse Connect Secure v8.2R5 update is free to existing customers
with an active support contract as part of Pulse Secure’s Protection
Services.
