Why Sumeru Chose Cato Networks

With over 28 vendors in the SASE market, Sumeru’s decision to collaborate with Cato Networks was driven by three key factors:

1. A Platform Built from the Ground Up: Cato Networks has developed its SASE platform as a cloud-native service, supported by a global private backbone of more than 85 Points of Presence (PoPs). This infrastructure ensures high-speed, secure, and reliable connectivity, positioning Cato as a pioneer in the SASE space.
2. Comprehensive and Secure Solutions: Cato’s Single Pass Cloud Engine (SPACE) powers every PoP to deliver a converged security and networking stack. This includes network segmentation and zero-trust (FWaaS), threat prevention (SWG, IPS, NGAM, DNS Security, RBI, IoT/OT), and application and data protection (CASB, DLP, ZTNA). By eliminating the complexity of third-party integrations, Cato provides businesses with end-to-end secure and optimized access they can trust.
3. Innovation for the Future of Work: Cato’s forward-thinking approach addresses the challenges of hybrid and remote work environments. By reimagining the traditional network perimeter, Cato has created a SASE architecture that supports dispersed workforces while delivering superior connectivity and security.

What This Means for Sumeru’s Clients

Sumeru’s collaboration with Cato Networks means that businesses can now access a comprehensive SASE platform that converges networking and security. With the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, clients will benefit from:

• Unparalleled Control: Gain complete visibility and management of network traffic, users, and applications from a single console.

• Future-Ready Flexibility: Adapt to the demands of hybrid work, cloud migration, and evolving IT environments with a scalable and modular SASE architecture.

SASE: A Growing Priority for Businesses
