Cato Networks, a leading SD-WAN vendor, this week announced an investment of $77 million, bringing its total investment to date to over $200 million.
Unlike legacy networks built from multiple point-solutions and telco services, Cato connects and secures the entire enterprise – remote users, sites, applications, and clouds with a global cloud service.
Cato claims that it is an affordable MPLS alternative, allowing enterprises to phase out costly, telco services. With Cato's Firewall as a Service, enterprises no longer incur the expense of purchasing, deploying, and scaling security appliances. And, customers can gradually deploy incremental capabilities with ease. Need widespread, scalable remote access? Cato software-defined perimeter (SDP) provides client and clientless remote access options can be deployed anywhere in minutes.

This round of financing is a testament to the unique value Cato delivers to customers even under the most difficult business conditions. The global pandemic has disrupted business-as-usual and underscored the need for an adaptable infrastructure.
