Cato Networks

What is Cato Networks?

Cato Networks is the pioneer of the single-vendor SASE platform, converging SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, FWaaS, and advanced threat prevention into a single cloud-native service built on a private global backbone. Unlike competitors that bolt together acquired products, Cato built every SASE component from the ground up on a single software stack and operates its own global backbone of 80+ PoPs connected by SLA-backed private links, providing predictable performance that internet-based SASE solutions cannot guarantee. Cato's architectural purity and simplified management make it particularly attractive for mid-market organizations. In September 2025 Cato made its first acquisition, buying the AI security company Aim Security to add protection for enterprise use of AI applications and agents.

Best for: Mid-market and large enterprises wanting a true single-vendor SASE platform with a private global backbone and simplified management
