Firewalls shouldn’t be a patchwork of vulnerabilities; they should be always up to date. Cato Networks just introduced its next-generation firewall (NGFW), a cloud-native security solution built into its SASE platform to eliminate manual patching, security gaps, and operational complexity. With application-aware segmentation and consistent enforcement across all locations, the Cato LAN NGFW stops lateral movement, simplifies policy management, and provides always-on protection, without the patching chaos of legacy firewalls. “Patching is a costly, time-consuming nightmare, a ticking time bomb if delayed," says Ofir Agasi, VP of Product Management at Cato Networks. With Cato's NGFW, security is always up-to-date... no additional hardware, no emergency fixes, just seamless protection. ??

D-Wave remains focused on practical quantum solutions today, helping enterprises solve complex optimization problems with real-world quantum applications. The quantum race is delivering value now.
