How is Ivanti Secure Access Client different from a traditional VPN client?

Ivanti Secure Access Client goes beyond traditional VPN access by delivering centrally managed, identity‑ and context‑aware connectivity.

Unlike basic VPN clients that provide broad network access, Secure Access Client continuously evaluates user identity, device posture, and security context to enforce policy‑driven, least‑privilege access. It integrates endpoint posture assessment and real-time compliance checks to help ensure only trusted users and devices gain access to protected resources.

What is endpoint posture assessment, and how does Secure Access Client enforce it?

Endpoint posture assessment is a critical zero trust security capability that continuously evaluates the security health and compliance status of devices before and during network access.

Ivanti Secure Access Client implements comprehensive endpoint security posture assessments for both mobile and desktop computing devices, enabling organizations to enforce security policies dynamically based on real-time device conditions. Secure Client Access provides stateful endpoint integrity and assessment with easy policy definitions for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android devices.

The client evaluates multiple security factors to determine device compliance:

  • Operating System patch level: Verifies devices run approved OS versions (Windows and macOS) with current security patches.
  • Antivirus and Anti-malware status: Checks whether endpoint protection is installed, running and up to date.
  • Disk encryption: Verifies sensitive data is protected through encryption.
  • Firewall status: ensures host-based firewalls are enabled and properly. Configured.
  • Application inventory: Identifies unauthorized or risky software.
  • Device configuration: Validates compliance with organizational security standards.

When non-compliant devices are identified, Ivanti Secure Access Client can block access completely, grant limited access to remediation resources only, trigger automated remediation workflows or provide user notifications with step-by-step instructions to address the issue.

Can Secure Access Client integrate with my existing identity provider (IdP) or IAM system?

Yes, Ivanti Secure Access Client offers extensive integration capabilities with existing identity providers (IdPs) and identity and access management (IAM) systems, enabling organizations to use their current authentication infrastructure while enhancing security.

Ivanti Secure Access Client supports standards-based SAML v2.0 single-sign-on with major enterprise identity providers like Okta, OneLogin and Ping Identity, as well as OAuth/OpenID. It also features connecting protocols for integration with Google, Azure AD, and similar services. Additional features include PKI/digital certificates for strong, passwordless authentication and LDAP/Active Directory for centralized user management.

How is Ivanti Secure Access Client licensed / priced?

Ivanti Secure Access Client is the unifying client included with Ivanti Connect Secure, Ivanti Policy Secure, and Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access. Organizations purchasing one of the products automatically receive Ivanti Secure Access Client access. There is no charge for the client.

What are the security benefits or protections offered by Ivanti Secure Access Client?

Ivanti Secure Access Client delivers comprehensive security protections beyond traditional VPNs. Secure Access Client provides dual-transport Layer 3 VPN with granular access control. Desktop clients are NIST/FIPS certified (Cert #4282). Mobile clients use Cert #1938. With Zero Trust Access, Ivanti Secure Access Client creates per-application mTLS tunnels that minimize your attack surface.

Secure Access Client implements least-privilege access with fine-grained policies based on identity, device posture and location to prevent lateral attacks. It continuously verifies identities and device posture throughout sessions. Additional protections include dynamic policy enforcement, endpoint assessment blocking non-compliant devices, automated remediation, UEBA threat detection, TPM boot integrity, privilege restriction and split tunneling preventing data exfiltration.
