Cato, the cloud-native carrier, provides the only secure managed SD-WAN service built with a global reach, self-service, and agility of the cloud. We replace security point solutions with a converged, uniform security stack built for the digital business. Our security as a service is a set of tools built directly into our cloud network as part of a tightly integrated software stack. Because of this, it can be applied consistently across all traffic traversing the network, eliminating the need for disparate edge security devices. Security services cover access control and threat prevention and are powered by our security research labs.

Cato Edge SD-WAN works with multiple Internet circuits, providing reliable, high-performance access to Cato’s global, private backbone. Traffic can also be routed over MPLS, directly between sites (not through the Cato PoP), and across IPsec tunnels to third-party devices. The Cato Socket, Cato’s Edge SD-WAN device, is a zero-touch device ready to work in minutes once it has power and Internet connectivity. Sockets come in two models: X1500 for branch offices and X1700 for datacenters. Both are continuously monitored and updated by Cato’s network operations center (NOC).
