Cato Networks named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE
The Cato SASE Cloud Platform is at the forefront of redefining the enterprise security landscape, continuously shaping the market with its innovative approach. Together with Cato Networks, Horizon Telecom supports global enterprises in their digital transformation with the Cato SASE Cloud architecture – an all-in-one SASE solution.
As a leader in SASE solutions, Cato Networks has once again been recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Single-Vendor SASE. This prestigious recognition underscores Cato’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge security solutions that empower enterprises to navigate the complexities of modern IT environments. By consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible in network security, the Cato SASE Cloud Platform is setting new standards and leading the way for the future of enterprise security.
“Cato’s genuine SASE platform effectively addresses the IT complexity that remains despite ongoing ‘platformization’ efforts,” said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO of Cato Networks. “As pioneers of the SASE market, Cato is shaping its future by delivering top-tier customer experiences and a continuous stream of innovations that fulfill the true potential of SASE.”
The Cato SASE Cloud platform was designed from the ground up as a fully integrated system that combines operational excellence with a seamless customer experience. With Cato’s autonomous cloud service, IT teams are relieved of time-consuming tasks such as expanding, upgrading, patching, and scaling security infrastructure, while ensuring the system’s reliability and availability. Unlike ‘platformization,’ where multiple acquired products with different codebases, formats, policy engines, and data lakes are merged into one platform, Cato offers an efficient and cohesive solution. This approach avoids the issues and limitations that often arise when trying to combine diverse technologies into a single platform.
“We believe this recognition from Gartner mirrors the positive experiences our customers have with Cato every day,” added Kramer.
As of July 3, 2024, the Cato SASE Cloud Platform held an impressive overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Gartner Peer Insights™ for single-vendor SASE, with 183 verified reviews—more than ten times that of any other Leader in the single-vendor SASE Magic Quadrant.
Cato expands the scope of Single-Vendor SASE
Gartner defines single-vendor secure access service edge (SASE) solutions as those that integrate various network and security-as-a-service functions, including software-defined WAN, secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, network firewalling, and zero trust network access. These solutions are delivered through a cloud-centric architecture by a single provider.¹
The Cato SASE Cloud Platform transcends the traditional boundaries of SASE, offering unparalleled performance that empowers IT teams to swiftly eliminate threats and efficiently troubleshoot network incidents. Unlike conventional solutions, Cato takes full ownership and management of its global cloud network, ensuring a seamless and superior SASE experience for enterprises across the globe.
Cato’s platform goes beyond mere threat prevention by incorporating advanced capabilities such as SASE-managed endpoint protection (EPP/EDR) and SASE-based extended detection and response (XDR). As the first AI-driven platform designed for both networking and security incident detection and response, Cato sets a new standard in proactive threat management and operational excellence.
