Cato Networks provides organizations with a cloud-based and secure global SD-WAN that replaces rigid and expensive MPLS and network security point products -- to power the digital business. 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.

Network teams once managed remote access through legacy solutions like VPNs, designed for an era when a handful of remote employees occasionally connected to applications hosted in physical data centers. 

But with the rise of remote and hybrid work, VPNs became bottlenecks, causing inefficiencies, increased latency, scalability issues, and major security gaps. 

Today, network and security teams must work together to secure a much wider attack surface. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) converges networking and security in a single, cloud-native service, enabling shared responsibility and a collaborative approach to connecting and protecting remote users. 

Join our webinar, hosted by Chris Rudolph, Cato’s Product Marketing Manager, to learn why team unity and collaboration is key for your remote access strategy.  

What you’ll learn:

Why legacy VPNs can’t meet today’s remote access demands.
How a lack of collaboration between network and security teams creates vulnerabilities, reduced visibility, and inefficiencies. 
How SASE, with native ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access), supports increased visibility and control via a single management console – sharing insights, unified policy enforcement, and easier management. 
A real-world example of how one organization transformed remote access and improved team collaboration with Cato SASE Cloud.

Why Remote Access should be a collaboration between Network and Security

Webinar Overview  

The BISO (Business Information Security Officer) has a pivotal role – bridging cybersecurity and business goals. Security is no longer just about protecting the business; it’s aligning security strategy with what matters most to the organization and its growth. 

BISOs face major challenges in achieving these goals and desired outcomes, and we’ve identified three key areas they must address: 

Vendor Management 
Mitigating risks

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.

Breaking the Mold: 2025 Cyber Threats Outlook (Cyber Security Master Class: Episode 20)

Webinar Overview  

Legacy next-gen firewall (NGFW) appliances were built for a different era—one with static perimeters and on-prem networks. But today’s enterprises operate in a perimeterless world, where cloud adoption is accelerating, hybrid work is the norm, and IT complexity keeps growing.  

These physical NGFWs create constraints, driving up operational overhead while limiting flexibility and scalability. To keep pace with evolving business demands and sophisticated threats, enterprises need cloud agility—freeing themselves from hardware dependencies, security gaps, and heavy upfront costs. 

Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) removes these limitations with a cloud-native approach. It eliminates physical firewall appliances, centralizes security policy enforcement, and streamlines global security management—reducing IT burden and cost while ensuring consistent protection everywhere. 

What you’ll learn in our webinar: 

The case for agility over appliances: Why today’s cloud-first enterprise strategies and hybrid workforce needs are making physical NGFWs obsolete. 
Improving operational efficiency for today’s IT: How FWaaS eliminates IT burdens, reduces costs, and simplifies management. 
Scalability, security, and agility: How FWaaS serves as a gateway to full SASE adoption, enabling seamless growth and comprehensive security. 
Real-world examples: Hear how leading enterprises transformed their security postures by replacing legacy hardware with Cato’s cloud-native FWaaS. 
Key criteria for FWaaS selection: Learn what to prioritize to future-proof your enterprise security strategy.
