Cato SASE: networking and security, unified.
Replace MPLS, VPN concentrators, and a rack of security appliances with one cloud platform — deployed in days and managed from anywhere. As a Cato Networks partner, we take you from first conversation to fully running network.
Cato SASE Cloud
Unify SD-WAN, firewall, secure web gateway, and zero trust access in a single cloud service. Eliminate appliances and embrace simplicity.
Global Private Backbone
Deliver fast, predictable performance between sites, clouds, and remote users over Cato's private global backbone instead of the public internet.
Security as a Service
Built-in threat prevention, visibility, and control — always up to date, with no on-prem hardware to patch or refresh.
Rapid Deployment
Connect sites and users in days, not months, with zero-touch Cato Sockets shipped straight to each location.
Your Cato network, managed for you.
Get all the benefits of Cato SASE without building in-house Cato expertise. Our Cato managed services cover the full lifecycle, from design and migration to day-to-day changes and ongoing optimization.
Assessment & design
We review your current network, sites, and security stack, then design a Cato architecture that fits how your business actually works.
Migration & deployment
Site-by-site migration from MPLS, site-to-site VPN, legacy SD-WAN, and firewall appliances to Cato, planned so the business keeps running.
Remote access & ZTNA
Roll out Cato SDP remote access to your users with identity-based policies, replacing aging VPNs with zero trust access.
Ongoing management
Site and user changes, network and security policy updates, socket upgrades, and troubleshooting, handled by people who live in Cato every day.
Monitoring & reviews
We keep watch on site health, WAN links, and remote users, and meet with you regularly to review performance, security events, and what's next.
One point of contact
We work alongside Cato on your behalf, so you have one team to call for your network and security, wherever your sites are in the world.
