SAN JOSE, CALIF.: Pulse Secure has announced that the company has extended its market-leading platform support with the immediate availability of a Pulse Secure Client for the Google Chrome Operating System (OS). Pulse Secure is the first leading vendor to offer this secure access solution for Chrome.
The Pulse Secure Client for Chrome for Work provides secure connectivity between a device running Chrome OS, such as Google Chromebooks, and Pulse Connect Secure, the company’s SSL VPN solution. After installing the Pulse Secure application on a Chrome OS device, users can configure a connection and establish Layer 3 VPN (SSL) communications.
