Pulse Secure
Pulse Secure is a launchAgent helper component that belongs to the Ivanti Secure Access (formerly Pulse Secure) VPN client for macOS. The helper handles background system integration, VPN connection management, and network extension services. It is not a standalone application — it is embedded within and updated by the parent Pulse Secure / Ivanti Secure Access installation.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is a helper component of the Pulse Secure / Ivanti Secure Access VPN client, not a standalone app, so it cannot be updated independently. The search results indicate that Pulse Secure / Ivanti Secure Access has shipped native Apple Silicon support as of version 9.1.13 and later. To ensure your helper is running natively on Apple Silicon, update the parent Pulse Secure / Ivanti Secure Access application itself. Visit the Ivanti support or download page, download and install the latest version of Pulse Secure / Ivanti Secure Access for macOS, and the launchAgent helper will be updated automatically as part of the installation. If you are unsure which version you have, open the Pulse Secure / Ivanti Secure Access client and check Help > About to see the version number. Installing a recent build will ensure the helper runs natively rather than under Rosetta 2 emulation.
