Ivanti Connect Secure
Course Overview
For organisations with staff in branches, field locations, and home offices, remote access is how work gets done. It has to be simple for users, but it also has to keep sensitive systems safe from people and devices that should not reach them, and it must stay available when many users connect at once.
Ivanti Connect Secure training in Tanzania gives engineers the skills to deliver all three. Ivanti Connect Secure, previously known as Pulse Connect Secure, is an SSL VPN and secure access gateway. Over four days of instruction and labs, learners configure the gateway, define user roles and resource policies, integrate authentication and single sign-on, manage certificates, deploy VPN tunnelling and the client, enforce endpoint compliance with Host Checker, and cover administration, troubleshooting, virtualisation and clustering. Teams responsible for wider defences can review our cybersecurity training courses.
Course Structure and Key Details
The programme runs for four days and is offered as instructor-led classroom or virtual training, with hands-on labs throughout.
On the first day, learners are introduced to the platform, complete the initial configuration lab, learn the technology and terminology, and configure user roles.
On the second day, they practise logging and tracing, set up resource policies and profiles, configure authentication, and explore advanced authentication options including single sign-on.
On the third day, they work with certificates, client and server applications, VPN tunnelling, client deployment, license server client deployment and Host Checker endpoint security.
On the fourth day, they cover administration, troubleshooting, virtualisation and clustering, with a closing topic on cloud secure access.
Enrolment requires experience with TCP/IP addressing and routing, Ethernet switching and VLANs, and basic security and access management concepts such as 802.1X and RADIUS.

Banks, telecom operators, mining companies, universities and public bodies across Tanzania increasingly rely on remote access for staff in branches, field sites and home offices. Engineers in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and Arusha must make that access easy for users while ensuring that only trusted people and devices reach sensitive systems. Ivanti Connect Secure training in Tanzania builds exactly those skills. Over four days, learners configure the gateway, define user roles and resource policies, integrate authentication and single sign-on, manage certificates, deploy VPN tunnelling and client software, and enforce endpoint compliance with Host Checker. The course also covers administration, logging, troubleshooting, virtualisation and clustering, so remote access stays available when demand peaks. With the Personal Data Protection Act 2022 and security guidance from TCRA and TZ-CERT, controlled remote access to personal and business data is more important than ever.
FAQs
Why is Ivanti Connect Secure useful for multi-site organisations?
It gives staff at branches and field sites secure access to central applications through one controlled gateway, with consistent roles, policies and endpoint checks for every location.
What are resource profiles?
Resource profiles bundle the settings for a specific resource, such as a web application, so access can be granted to roles in a simple, consistent way. They are covered by resource policies.
How should I prepare before Ivanti Connect Secure training in Tanzania?
Refresh your knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, VLANs, 802.1X and RADIUS, and review how users currently access remote resources in your organisation.
What are client and server applications in Ivanti Connect Secure?
They are the access methods that let users reach non-web applications, from application-level access to full network tunnels. The course covers them alongside VPN tunnelling.
What happens when a device fails a Host Checker policy?
Depending on the configuration, the device can be denied access or given limited access until it meets the policy. The Host Checker chapter shows how to set these rules.
How does Ivanti Connect Secure stay available during busy periods?
Clustering allows several appliances to work together, sharing the load and taking over if one fails. The course includes a cluster lab.
Can partners and contractors use Ivanti Connect Secure?
Yes. Ivanti documentation describes access for employees, partners, and customers, and user roles let administrators give each group only the resources it needs.
Why do some providers call this course Pulse Connect Secure?
The product was named Pulse Connect Secure before Ivanti acquired Pulse Secure. Some training providers still use the older name for the same administration and configuration course.
