Ivanti Secure Access Client - Secure remote access

IVANTI SECURE ACCESS FOR ANDROID

INTRODUCTION:

Ivanti recommends deploying the Ivanti Secure Access Client (formerly Pulse Mobile Client) via MDM solutions for improved management. This allows administrators to exercise control over the clients installed on the endpoints. Admins can test the latest releases of the Ivanti Secure Access Client across all relevant use cases before upgrading endpoints to prevent any environment-specific issues.

The Ivanti Secure Access client for Android streamlines the use of personal devices for work purposes. It is an all-in-one client that establishes a secure connection between your device and work, providing a dedicated workspace for work-related tasks.

Through the Ivanti Secure Access Client for Android, users can easily connect to their corporate VPN with just a tap of a button, ensuring simple and secure mobile access to information stored on corporate servers or in the cloud.

Ivanti Secure Access for Android offers an integrated Workspace that enables users to leverage the latest business applications for email, collaboration, and productivity. The Workspace keeps corporate apps and data isolated from personal apps and information on the mobile device, ensuring privacy, with the employer having the ability to wipe the Workspace only.

REQUIREMENTS:

Ensure your VPN is compatible with the Ivanti Secure Access Client for Android by consulting your IT team.

FEATURES:

• Seamless connectivity! Secure access to web-based applications, enterprise networks, and bookmarks via an encrypted VPN tunnel.

• Enhanced privacy! Privacy controls safeguard your data from visibility by the company and allow the wiping of the workspace only.

• Robust security! Corporate information is protected through encrypted storage, controlled data sharing among enterprise apps, and direct connection to the corporate VPN.

Special Consideration for Workspace Customers:

The Ivanti Secure Access Android app utilizes the Android BIND-DEVICE-ADMIN, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission. This permits your company's administrator to establish a Managed Work Profile independent from your Personal Profile on your device. Within the Managed Work Profile, administrators utilize permissions to manage and provision enterprise apps to your Android device, enforce application policies defined by the company, and configure settings such as passcodes, data erasure, WiFi configurations, etc. Typically, no personally identifiable data is collected within the Managed Work Profile, and the Ivanti Secure Access Android app does not access information from your Personal Profile.

The application employs the USE_EXACT_ALARM permission in the onDemand VPN use case only. A future release will transition to SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, requiring user acceptance.

Using Guide

Ivanti Secure Access is a leading application designed specifically for Android users who require a reliable and secure connection to their work environments. With Pulse Secure, you can easily leverage the convenience of your personal device for professional tasks, ensuring a smooth integration of your mobile presence with corporate requirements.

The primary purpose of the app is to facilitate a protected VPN connection, enabling seamless access to web-based applications, enterprise networks, and essential bookmarks. This connectivity is achieved through a robust, encrypted VPN tunnel, offering peace of mind when it comes to data security and privacy.

One of the standout features is the integrated Workspace, which effectively distinguishes between corporate and personal data on your device. Pulse Secure ensures that corporate applications and data remain isolated from your personal content. This compartmentalization means maintenance of privacy, while employers have the capability to manage only the work-related aspects of the device, should it be necessary.

Using Experience

A distinct advantage is the user-friendly interface that allows for swift and secure mobile access to corporate resources with the simple touch of a button. Personal information, such as pictures, remains strictly confidential as privacy controls prevent corporate access to personal data.

Before utilizing the app, verification with the IT team that the VPN setup is compatible is essential. The platform is tailored for deployment through MDM (Mobile Device Management) solutions, granting administrators improved control over endpoint management.

Remember, Ivanti Secure Access guards work by encrypting all stored information, thereby fostering a secure and productive mobile working experience. By ensuring that the device meets the requirements for the app, efficient management of work tasks on an Android device is confidently supported.
