Cato Networks

Fizor, Sanchez and Washburn said Cato Networks is one to watch. Fizor said Cato Networks is giving more established players a run for their money.

“It was the first to evangelize SASE; it includes a robust cloud network security solution and end-user VPN solution,” Fizor said. “They’re not a young player as they have been playing in the global space alongside Aryaka. But Cato was the first to run after the newer SASE architecture/definition. Cato brings a solution that will support domestic and global customers [and] will also support remote users through VPN.”

“Cato Networks is making a splash like Aryaka did when it was new,” Washburn said. “It’s got a forward-looking platform and is hungry for business, which is a powerful combination.”
