Pulse Secure brings VPN, quarantine management in integrated solution to PERSOL Group

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 -- Pulse Secure, the software-defined Secure Access solutions provider, has announced delivery of a deployment at PERSOL Group, designed to provide secure, remote access to employees while enabling the company to move to a Zero Trust architecture.

Based in Japan, PERSOL Group comprises 136 companies in Japan and overseas, with 492 domestic and 188 overseas offices and staffed by around 50,000 employees, according to a statement.

To overcome the challenges of maintaining its existing closed network, the group had initially sought to deploy a quarantine solution and a VPN solution to enable employees to connect to its servers securely.

With this exercise, the IT team at PERSOL found that Pulse Secure was able to deliver on both fronts, enabling employees to securely access the internal network with a vastly improved user interface.

As the pandemic in early 2020 forced the lockdown of cities globally, PERSOL accelerated its deployment of Pulse Connect Secure provided by Pulse Secure Japan to keep its business running amid emergency health and safety measures.

Going forward, PERSOL plans to further deploy cloud proxies and Identity as a Service and other cloud-based services that do not require users to always log on to an internal network.

PERSOL now aims to use Zero Trust as a concept to build a secure and flexible network, while keeping things seamless for the end-user.
