Ivanti Connect Secure
Course Overview
Remote access used to mean a handful of staff using a VPN from home. Today it includes field engineers, contractors, partners, and executives on personal devices, all expecting fast access to the applications they need. Each group requires different permissions, and every device needs to be trusted before it connects.
Ivanti Connect Secure training in Oman shows engineers how to deliver that level of control. Ivanti Connect Secure, the platform formerly known as Pulse Connect Secure, provides SSL VPN and secure access to internal resources. Over four lab-based days, learners configure the gateway, create user roles and resource policies, integrate authentication and single sign-on, manage certificates, deploy VPN tunnelling and the client, enforce endpoint checks with Host Checker, and manage, troubleshoot, and cluster the platform. Professionals expanding into wider security roles can browse our cybersecurity training courses.
Course Structure and Key Details
The course lasts four days and is offered as instructor-led classroom or virtual training, with hands-on labs supporting most chapters.
Day one introduces the platform and takes learners through initial configuration. They learn the technology and terminology of Ivanti Connect Secure and configure user roles in the lab.
Day two covers logging and tracing for basic troubleshooting, then resource policies and profiles that control access to web, file and application resources. Learners configure authentication and practise single sign-on as part of advanced authentication options.
Day three focuses on certificates, client and server applications, VPN tunnelling, client deployment, license server client deployment and endpoint security with Host Checker, each supported by labs.
Day four covers administration, troubleshooting, virtualisation and clustering, with a final topic on cloud secure access.
Learners need experience with TCP/IP addressing and routing and Ethernet addressing, switching and VLANs, together with basic security and access management concepts such as 802.1X and RADIUS.

Oman Vision 2040 is expanding digital services across ministries, banks, ports, oil and gas operators, and universities, and many of these organisations now depend on staff, contractors and partners connecting remotely. In Muscat, Sohar and Salalah, the remote access gateway has become one of the most important and most targeted parts of the network. Ivanti Connect Secure training in Oman gives engineers the hands-on skills to configure and protect that gateway. Learners work through initial configuration, user roles, resource policies and profiles, authentication and single sign-on, certificates, VPN tunnelling, client deployment, Host Checker endpoint security, administration, troubleshooting, virtualisation and clustering. The focus on least-privilege access and device posture checks supports the stronger cyber defences encouraged by the Oman National CERT. Teams leave better prepared to maintain a secure, resilient remote access service.
FAQs
How long is the Ivanti Connect Secure course?
The course lasts four days and is offered as instructor-led classroom or virtual training. Contact our Muscat team to confirm formats and dates.
What are user roles in Ivanti Connect Secure?
User roles define what a group of users can do once connected, such as which access methods and resources are available. They are a central part of least-privilege remote access.
What are resource policies and profiles?
Resource policies and profiles control access to specific resources, such as web applications, file shares, or servers, for each role. The course includes a resource policies lab.
Does the course cover single sign-on?
Yes. The advanced authentication options chapter includes a single sign-on lab, so users can reach applications without repeatedly entering credentials.
Why use clustering for Ivanti Connect Secure?
Clustering groups gateways together so remote access stays available if one appliance fails or during maintenance. The course includes a cluster lab.
Can Ivanti Connect Secure run as a virtual appliance?
Yes. The course includes a chapter on virtualisation, covering virtual deployment of the gateway alongside physical appliances.
Is the course useful for security analysts?
It is most useful for engineers who configure and support the gateway. Analysts who investigate remote access activity will benefit from the logging, authentication, and Host Checker topics.
Do I need to know 802.1X and RADIUS before Ivanti Connect Secure training in Oman?
Yes, at a basic level. The prerequisites include knowledge of basic security and access management concepts such as 802.1X and RADIUS.
