Technical Overview:

SaaS Optimization

Cato optimally routes traffic to public cloud applications, such as Office 365, Salesforce, Box, UCaaS, and Cloud ERP, from the enterprise edge to the doorstep of the cloud application’s datacenter. Cato accelerates end-to-end throughput up to 20x, boosting application performance for bandwidth-intensive operations like file upload and download.

All traffic and files exchanged with the cloud application are fully inspected by Cato’s security stack, SSE 360, to protect users from threat, attacks, and data loss.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG)

SWG solutions protect users against malware, phishing, and other web-borne threats. SD-WAN offers SWG protection to all users, at all locations, and eliminates the need to maintain policies across multiple point solutions.

Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

ZTNA offers a modern approach to securing application access for users. It embraces a zero-trust policy, where application access dynamically adjusts based on user identity, location, device type, and more.

Unified Management/Cato Management Application

SD-WAN solves the complexity of managing multiple disparate products. A true SD-WAN allows users to monitor and manage all network and security solutions from a single pane of glass.

Remote Access

Provides the mobile user with Zero Trust Network Access to on-premises and cloud applications. With a Cato Client or Clientless browser access, users securely connect to the nearest Cato PoP using strong Multi-Factor Authentication. Traffic flows only to applications authorized for the users based on identity, access policy, and user context. Throughout the session, traffic is fully inspected by Cato’s security stack to prevent malware propagation from compromised endpoints.

Software-Defined WAN (SDWAN)

SD-WAN enables optimal WAN management. SASE leverages SD-WAN capabilities to provide optimized network routing, global connectivity, WAN and Internet security, cloud acceleration, and remote access.

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)

A firewall is the foundation of any network security stack. SD-WAN includes FWaaS to provide the scalability and elasticity needed for the digital business and to extend a full network security stack wherever needed.
