New year = new contract. Cato Networks in Bakotech Group portfolio

Bakotech Group's portfolio has been enriched by the addition of a new vendor - Cato Networks. The provider is a forerunner in the convergence of networking and security in the cloud. Thanks to its cloud-native architecture, it enables rapid deployment of new capabilities and maintenance of proper security levels without any help from IT teams.

The vendor's guiding solution is SASE (Secure Acces Service Edge), which combines SD-WAN and Security Service Edge (SSE) functions, including FWaaS, CASB, DLP, SWG and ZNTA into a single, cloud-based service that secures all corporate assets - both physical and mobile, in any location.

In the past, network access was done with point solutions, but they were complex and costly, hurting enterprise flexibility. SASE reduces the time it takes to develop new products and deliver them to market, and enables companies to respond to rapidly changing business conditions and competitive actions. The shift to remote working and the increasing use of the cloud has had a major impact on the security of information and the networks that companies use. Something that sets Cato and its solution apart is that it provides flexibility in these new conditions. SASE makes it possible to implement new activities at low cost and ensure that all company employees have secure access to the system from anywhere in the world.

Benefits of using SASE:

• easy migration from MLPS to WAN through comprehensive network optimization,
• improve the efficiency of data flow from various locations around the world over a private network,
• provide secure Internet access to all company branches and mobile users,
• optimizing and securing cloud access with agentless Cato integration,
• the ability to use the network anywhere without using the premium cloud.

Cato is the world's first SASE platform that combines SD-WAN and security into a single global cloud. It enables enterprises to move away from expensive network solutions and toward a unified, secure cloud-based network. Its architecture allows quick responses to new situations such as mergers and acquisitions, global expansions, employee mobility or data migrations to the cloud, while reducing costs.

SASE customers can easily connect their physical locations, cloud resources and mobile users to Cato SASE Cloud, and IT teams benefit from a unified network, managed through a single console.

The product is mainly offered in an MSP (Managed Service Provider) service model through CEEcloud Services Distribution (Bakotech Group).
