We Are SASE: The Platform That Makes All the Difference

In today’s hyper-connected world, businesses need a network that doesn’t just keep up, but stays ahead. That’s where SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) comes in—a revolutionary approach to networking and security that transforms how organizations connect, protect, and manage their digital ecosystems. At Horizon Telecom, we proudly partner with Cato Networks to deliver a true SASE experience, designed to make a difference where it matters most.

Connect: One Platform to Unite All Edges, Everywhere

Connectivity is the backbone of any modern business, and with Cato Networks, we take it to the next level. Cato’s SASE platform extends security and networking across every edge—no matter where it is—using a global private backbone. This backbone isn’t just extensive; it’s powerful enough to handle multi-gig traffic streams with full inspection and optimization. With 360-degree visibility and control over all traffic, your network stays resilient, secure, and ready to meet any challenge.

To ensure seamless connectivity, Cato offers multiple on-ramp options. Whether it’s the Cato SD-WAN devices for physical locations, the Cato ZTNA/EPP client for endpoints, or cloud interconnects and virtual SD-WAN for Cloud Data Centers, we’ve got every edge covered.

Protect: Secure Networks, Users, and Devices at Scale

In an era where threats evolve daily, security can’t be an afterthought—it needs to be built into the very fabric of your network. Cato’s fully converged, cloud-native suite of threat prevention and data protection capabilities is enforced across all traffic—whether it’s internet, WAN, or cloud—traversing the Cato SASE Cloud platform.

At the heart of this protection is the Cato Client, an endpoint agent that offers risk-based zero trust network access. But it doesn’t stop there; it also provides built-in endpoint protection and detection, ensuring that every device on your network is secure, no matter where it is.

Detect: Threat Detection and Response, From Within

The ability to detect and respond to threats in real-time is critical for any business. Cato Networks excels in this area by leveraging automated, proven AI/ML models that run on its open data lake. These models are designed for threat hunting and network incident detection, utilizing both Cato-generated and third-party feeds and events.

For incident response, Cato’s AI-assisted analyst workbench stands out. It enables analysts to prioritize and respond to incidents quickly and effectively, using battle-tested tools and playbooks that have been honed over time.

Run: Management, Built for Speed

Managing a complex network doesn’t have to be complicated. The Cato Management Application simplifies the process by offering a unified interface to configure all policies, monitor network and security analytics, and troubleshoot issues. As Cato continues to innovate, all current and future capabilities will be managed through this same intuitive platform, ensuring a consistent and streamlined experience.

Additionally, Cato’s single API is a game-changer for businesses and partners alike. It enables data extraction, automated configuration, and third-party integrations, allowing customers to leverage Cato’s built-in data-sharing capabilities or customize their data processing to fit specific needs.

At Horizon Telecom, we believe that SASE is more than just a buzzword—it’s the future of networking and security. With Cato Networks, we’re delivering a platform that connects, protects, detects, and runs like no other.
