help Cato SASE Cloud FAQ

What does Cato SASE Cloud actually do?

Cato SASE Cloud is a converged network and security platform that replaces traditional VPNs, firewalls, and SD-WAN appliances. It routes all network traffic through a global cloud PoP (Point of Presence) to inspect for threats and optimize connectivity.

How does Cato SASE handle remote workers?

Instead of backhauling traffic through a corporate data center, Cato's SASE architecture connects remote users directly to the nearest Cato PoP via a lightweight client. This applies zero-trust network access (ZTNA) policies while reducing latency.

Is Cato SASE Cloud a firewall?

Yes, Cato acts as a cloud-native Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) through its Cato SSE (Security Service Edge) capabilities. It includes built-in Intrusion Prevention (IPS), anti-malware, and URL filtering without requiring on-premises hardware.

Does Cato SASE require physical hardware?

While Cato is primarily cloud-based, physical or virtual Cato Socket connectors are deployed at branch offices to establish secure SD-WAN tunnels. These sockets encrypt traffic and seamlessly route it to the Cato cloud network.
