Case Study: Entegrus achieves strengthened security posture and seamless, transparent user access with Pulse Secure

Entegrus strengthens security posture with Pulse Secure’s Secure Access Solutions, enabling seamless, transparent user access for energy distribution

Entegrus, an energy distribution provider serving 60,000 customers in southwestern Ontario, needed to strengthen its security posture while simplifying management of a growing mobile workforce and widely distributed infrastructure. A five-person IT team faced regulatory requirements (NERC/NIST), long travel times to remote sites, and the operational impact of a recent merger—driving the need for more robust, scalable access controls without disrupting users.

Entegrus deployed Pulse Secure 5000 series appliances with Pulse Policy Secure and Pulse Connect Secure to integrate SSL VPN and NAC, enable host checking and single sign‑on, and streamline policy-driven provisioning with its Juniper estate. The upgrade delivered a single convergence point for secure access, automated device validation, reduced OPEX/CAPEX, compliance with best-practice guidance, and a measurable increase in security with minimal user impact.
