Cato Networks launches managed SASE partner platform

“With the introduction of Cato MSASE Partner Platform, Cato is making it easier for us to help customers fully deploy SASE or seamlessly shift into a full SASE deployment when they’re ready to do so,” said David Humes II, vice president of product development at US Signal, in a statement. US Signal’s SASE services are powered by Cato.

SASE, which stands for secure access service edge, is a networking model that combines network and security capabilities into a single, cloud-based service that enterprises can extend to their on-premises employees, remote workers, and branch offices.

According to Gartner, managed SASE service adoption will rise significantly in the next two years as enterprises opt to gain SASE capabilities via service providers. “By 2026, at least 45% of enterprises will use managed SASE services—an increase of three times from early 2023,” Gartner said in its report, How to Choose Between Managed SASE Services.
