Cato connects all data centers, branches, mobile users, and cloud resources into a global, optimized cloud network that is tightly secured by a cloud-based network security stack and backed by expert managed security services. Cato cuts MPLS costs, improves performance between global locations and to cloud applications, eliminates branch appliances, provides secure Internet access everywhere, and seamlessly integrates mobile users and cloud datacenters into the WAN.

This year, we’ve seen familiar threats take on unexpected forms - from supply chain breaches and AI-driven vulnerabilities to the risks and costs caused by security complexity. As we head into 2025, understanding these shifts is essential.  

Join Cato Networks’ Chief Security Strategist and Cato CTRL founding member, Etay Maor, for a Cybersecurity Masterclass unpacking key lessons from 2024’s most significant and unique breaches, and learn what organizations need to know to stay vigilant and protected in the year ahead. 

What’s covered: 

New levels of patience and precision in ‘low and slow’ supply chain attacks: The XZ vulnerability attack showcased a rare strategy: a threat actor embedded themselves in an open-source project for years, waiting for the perfect moment to commit a backdoor. 
Tricking AI with new evasion tactics: Attackers use prompt injections in malware code to mislead AI-based security tools and evade detection, tricking them into marking malicious code as safe. 
Why complexity is the enemy of security: How the biggest threat to organizations may be their security complexity, which is the leading contributor to the cost of a data breach.

“This is out of scope,” said no hacker ever. Cybercriminals relentlessly aim to breach systems and stay undetected during an attack. In our latest Cybersecurity Masterclass, Cato experts dive into the evolving tactics of threat actors running malware and phishing campaigns, exploring how they evade security tools and researchers.  

We’ll examine the old-school tricks that laid the foundation for today’s sophisticated tactics and examine the modern techniques bad actors use to outsmart defenses, including detailed demonstrations of how they now exploit cloud services and AI. 

Join Etay Maor, Chief Security Strategist, and Tal Darsan, Manager of Cybersecurity Services at Cato Networks, and both members of the Cato CTRL team, to learn: 

Early phishing and malware evasion techniques like verification of credit cards, anti-research methods, proxy checks, and randomized folders 
Modern phishing and evasion strategies, including obfuscated kits, reverse proxy attacks, and randomized URL attributes 
How threat actors leverage cloud services and AI for evasion, with real-world examples 
Steps to detect and mitigate attacks and strategies to reduce your attack surface and strengthen your security posture

Flying Under the Radar – Security Evasion Techniques (Master Class)

MITRE ATT&CK has become the language defenders use when analyzing adversaries. MITRE’s database of tactics and techniques enables multiple teams, including red-teams, pen testers, threat hunters, and developers, to improve their security defenses. They can share information and then analyze and emulate different adversarial actions.

In this webinar, we will explore the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We will analyze multiple use cases and also unveil its biases and limitations. In addition, we will dive into how MITRE ATT&CK can be used within your SASE solution and see how this will enhance your organization’s security posture.

Join Bill Carter, System Engineer at Cato Networks, Ross Weisman, Innovation Lead at MITRE Center for Threat Informed Defense, and Etay Maor, Sr. Director of Security Strategy at Cato Networks, to learn:

How to operationalize the MITRE ATT&CK framework
What are the MITRE ATT&CK framework’s biases and limitations
Where and when you should use MITRE ATT&CK in your SASE solution
What is MITRE’s Center for Threat Informed Defense, and what are some of its cutting-edge projects

The Best Defense is ATT&CK: Applying MITRE ATT&CK to Your Organization

Webinar Overview 

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, IT leaders are tasked with selecting technologies that not only secure their infrastructure but also drive significant business growth. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) has become a pivotal topic, offering the IT department functional, operational, and commercial transformation. However, with a market flooded by SASE vendors touting features, capabilities, and marketing jargon, the real business outcomes often get lost in the noise.  

It’s time to cut through the hype and understand how SASE can be strategically aligned with the goals of modern and digital enterprises, gaining agility and closing the gap between Business and IT. 

Key Questions We’ll Address: 

What business outcomes should be expected from SASE? 
What KPIs can be set and measured to evaluate success? 
How can technological requirements be effectively mapped to business results? 
How can cyber risks be integrated into the decision-making process? 
Join our AMA (Ask Me Anything) webinar, hosted by Eyal Webber-Zvik, VP of Product Marketing and Strategic Alliances at Cato Networks, for a dynamic and insightful Q&A session focused on the true business impact of SASE. 

Eyal, with over 8 years of hands-on SASE experience, will be addressing these crucial topics and more, providing clear and actionable insights.

We often hear about the two ends of an attack lifecycle – how threat actors gain entry and the resulting impact. But what happens in between? Much of an attack occurs between these two events – on the network. 

With average dwell times exceeding six months until detection, what actions do threat actors take during this period to evade discovery, ensure persistence, and maintain awareness of their location on the network? 

Join Cato’s Security Experts: Dolev Attiya, Staff Security Engineer; Matan Mittelman, Security Research Team Leader; and Etay Maor, Senior Director Security Strategy, as they explore the actions of threat actors on networks. They'll demonstrate the tools, tactics, and techniques used during a breach. Using MITRE ATT&CK as a guideline, the Cato team illustrates each step in detail. 

From Living on the Land (LOL) attacks and network discovery. to lateral movement, persistence, credential dumping, and more – witness an attack unfold! 

Register now to discover: 

The various methods threat actors employ to breach a network
