Pulse Secure is a VPN client and network access manager developed by Pulsesecure (now part of Ivanti) that secures remote connections to corporate networks. It is widely deployed by enterprises, government agencies and educational institutions to protect users connecting from untrusted networks. The launchAgent component (PulseTray) runs in the background to maintain secure tunnel connectivity, handle credential management, and enforce security policies. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe PulseTray launchAgent is a component of the main Pulse Secure application, not a standalone product. To update it to the native Apple Silicon build, you must update the host Pulse Secure application itself. According to search results, a native (Universal Binary) build of Pulse Secure is available from the vendor and has been confirmed running natively on M-series Macs. Download and install the latest native version from Ivanti's official site or from the Mac App Store if your copy was installed via that channel, and the launchAgent will be updated automatically as part of the installation. If you prefer to stay within an existing installer environment, check whether your organisation provides Pulse Secure through a managed deployment tool — corporate IT teams often maintain their own managed installer or Mobile Device Management (MDM) distribution channel. The native build will provide noticeably better battery life and responsiveness compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta 2.
