WhyChooseCato

Atrulycloud-nativeSASEarchitecture

Cato offers the industry's first fully cloud-based SASE platform, converging SD-WAN and security services, including NGFW, ZTNA, and SWG, into a single service. Enterprises no longer need to procure multiple point solutions or deploy on-premises hardware, cutting both build-out and operational costs while ensuring consistent security and performance.

High-performanceglobalprivatebackbone

Cato operates over 80 points of presence (PoPs) worldwide, connected by a dedicated private backbone that bypasses the public internet. Enterprises connect to cloud applications and global sites through these PoPs, significantly reducing latency and packet loss for a stable user experience, particularly valuable for organizations with multinational operations.

Nativelyintegratedsecurity

Next-generation firewall (NGFW), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), anti-malware, and threat detection are all built into the platform by default, with no need for additional procurement or integration.

Single-platformcentralizedmanagement

A unified management console gives enterprises full visibility into network and security posture, including traffic monitoring, security events, and policy configuration, simplifying IT operations.

AI-driventhreatdefense

Cato combines global threat intelligence with AI models to analyze anomalous behavior in real time, identify unknown attacks, and automatically update defense policies, strengthening Zero Trust protection.

Flexibledeploymentandsubscriptionmodel

Built on a cloud-native architecture with a SaaS subscription model, enterprises can scale sites and capabilities on demand, accelerate deployment, lower upfront costs, and simplify IT management and budget planning.

AconvergednetworkandsecuritySD-WANappliance

Unlike software-only solutions, Cato's SD-WAN appliance integrates transport optimization, routing control, and Zero Trust protection, simplifying network rollout and improving performance for a true end-to-end SASE architecture.
