Overview

Cato provides a secure, cloud-based network for enterprises that reduces the time and money needed to maintain on-premise hardware and software. First, it connects all remote locations, mobile users and cloud infrastructures to a simple network perimeter in the cloud. Through its secure cloud network, it delivers affordable, low-latency connectivity between offices, users and applications that outperforms alternatives like MPLS and VPN tunnels. It can also eliminate the network security stack at remote locations, including UTMs, next-generation firewalls, URL filters and WAN optimization appliances, because it delivers all these capabilities as part of its secure network. Finally, Cato extends security and connectivity across the entire enterprise network, including cloud and mobile, so it can enforce a unified policy without the need for multiple point solutions, like CASB.

The Cato Cloud connects all the enterprise network elements, including branch locations, the mobile workforce, and physical and cloud datacenters, to a global, encrypted and optimized network in the cloud. With all WAN and internet traffic consolidated in the cloud, Cato applies a set of enterprise grade network security services to protect the traffic at all times. The Cato Cloud is seamlessly and continuously updated by Cato’s dedicated networking and security experts, to ensure maximum service availability, optimal network performance, and the highest level of protection against emerging threats. Therefore, no steps to patch or update the software need to be taken by the customer’s IT staff. There is no trade off between usability and functionality with security in Cato’s innovation. It reduces complexity and costs, while maintaining the highest level of network security.
