Digitalisation has fundamentally changed the way organisations build and protect their networks. Users no longer work within the four walls of the organisation, applications are increasingly moving to the cloud, and the threat landscape is evolving faster than ever before. At the same time, there is a growing need to simplify infrastructure – to bring networking and security together in a single, unified architecture that is easy to manage, scale and protect.

This is exactly where SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) comes in.

Everything in one solution

SASE combines networking and security in a single, unified, cloud-based service. Instead of managing firewalls, VPN, SD-WAN and security platforms separately, everything is brought together in one integrated architecture – with central management, a complete overview and consistent policy handling.

With Cato Networks, you get a complete SASE solution that integrates:

• SD-WAN for efficient and stable communication between offices and the cloud
• Secure Web Gateway and Next-Gen Firewall for protection against threats
• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) for secure and flexible remote access
• Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for control over cloud services and data

Everything is managed through a single interface, which makes it far simpler to manage, scale and monitor the entire environment.

Build at your own pace

One of the biggest advantages of SASE – and of Cato in particular – is flexibility. You do not need to implement the whole solution at once. The platform makes it possible to start where the need is greatest, and build further when the timing and the organisation are ready.

Many organisations choose to start with remote access, which provides a modern and secure solution for employees working from different locations and countries. With Cato, they get fast, encrypted access to the organisation’s resources – without the limitations that often come with traditional VPN solutions.

Others start with site-to-site communication (SD-WAN) to make the connection between offices, data centres and cloud environments more efficient. Wherever you start, you can easily activate more capabilities directly in the same interface. As the organisation grows, or its needs change, you can add security modules, traffic management or full SASE functionality – without having to change platform or supplier.

Simpler operations and stronger security

Cato’s architecture provides a complete overview of the entire network and security infrastructure – from user access to traffic patterns and security policies. The result is less complexity, better control and faster response times when incidents occur.

For the IT department, this means fewer resources spent on administration (and patching) and more focus on strategy and development. For the business, it means higher availability, stronger security and a smoother user experience.
