Who is Cato?
Cato provides secure network connectivity and services all over the world - typically within 25km of your customers' sites. The company delivers secure global network connectivity 'as a service' using Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology - which combines flexible software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) with end-to-end cybersecurity features.
The company's global private network backbone delivers end-to-end route optimisation for WAN and cloud traffic, and a self-healing architecture for maximum service uptime. They can offer your customers connectivity that is superior to the unpredictable public Internet, and more affordable than global MPLS and other legacy architectures.
