- Converge SD-WAN and security in one cloud-native architecture
- Replace legacy MPLS, firewalls, and VPNs with a single platform
- Enforce Zero Trust access with full traffic inspection at every edge
- Optimize SaaS and cloud performance with a global private backbone
- Centralize control with a single management console for all sites and users
- Scale faster with preconfigured hardware, cloud on-ramps, and mobile client access
Thrive with a unified, cloud-delivered network
Stronger security
Protect every edge with full-stack, cloud-native security, including SWG, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, and IPS using a platform with no hardware to manage.
Better performance
Accelerate application access across all users and locations with Cato’s global private backbone, real-time optimization, and intelligent path selection.
Lower cost & complexity
Replace MPLS, VPNs, and point security tools with a single converged solution. Fewer vendors, fewer touchpoints, and fully managed options.
Learn the basics of SASE
How does SASE work?
Identity-based access
Access policies follow the user across locations, devices, and apps, ensuring consistent enforcement everywhere.
Cloud-native architecture
The platform is elastic, self-healing, and always up to date. No hardware sprawl or patching required.
Edge-to-edge coverage
Every user, branch, and cloud instance is protected with consistent policy and performance.
Global reach
A private backbone with PoPs worldwide ensures low-latency access and full inspection, no matter where business happens.
Secure your users, apps, and locations with one platform.

Why choose a converged SASE solution?
Not all SASE platforms are created equal. Here’s how traditional and converged approaches compare:
| Category |
Traditional SASE (Zscaler, Netskope) |
Converged SASE (Cato Networks) |
|---|---|---|
|
Architecture |
Modular, multi-vendor |
Fully integrated, single platform |
|
Deployment |
Multiple tools to configure and integrate |
One platform, fast deployment
with preconfigured sockets |
|
Management |
Separate consoles for networking and security |
One interface for policy, users, traffic, and apps |
|
Policy Enforcement |
Disjointed rules across SD-WAN,
firewalls, and SSE |
Unified policy engine across all users
and edges |
|
Remote Access |
Often reliant on legacy VPN or
bolt-on ZTNA |
Built-in Zero Trust access with client or
clientless options |
|
Visibility |
Fragmented view across tools |
Full end-to-end observability from
one pane of glass |
|
Performance Backbone |
Typically depends on public internet or third-party cloud |
Private global backbone built and maintained by Cato |
|
Scalability |
Complex to scale, especially across geos |
Elastic, cloud-native, and globally distributed |
|
Vendor Responsibility |
Customers manage and connect the stack |
Cato owns and operates the entire
platform end-to-end |
