Cato SASE Platform

Cato SASE Platform brings networking, security, and access into a cloud-native platform managed through a shared policy engine and console. Its network provides global connectivity, segmentation, and multi-cloud access over a cloud-native backbone. Security features use single-pass inspection and shared policy, and include firewall-as-a-service, secure web gateway, intrusion and malware prevention, DNS security, and remote browser isolation. Other listed capabilities include SD-WAN, CASB, DLP, XDR, endpoint protection, digital experience monitoring, and a platform API. Users can reach private applications through a ZTNA client, Enterprise Browser, or clientless portal; browser access can also reach hosted applications and RDP or SSH resources without installing the client. Cato lists 100 integrations across areas such as authentication, asset management, EDR, ITSM, SaaS security, and SIEM, though some require a separate license. The Cato Client supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, subject to operating-system and client-version support. Pricing is available on request. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
