Simplify to Succeed in 2025

Welcome to December’s SASE Insider. As we wind down to close out 2024, IT complexity isn’t slowing down with us. Maybe it’s time we rethink how we deal with it? Heading into 2025, the path forward isn’t about adding more layers, tools, or effort – it’s about making things easier, streamlining what matters, and moving ahead. The simpler things are, the better we can tackle whatever comes next. Let’s make 2025 the year enterprises simplify to succeed.?

Can you secure IoT/OT devices you can’t see????

Every IoT and OT device you connect strengthens operations – but also expands your attack surface. With outdated software, weak security, and often in hard-to-monitor environments, your devices are introducing vulnerabilities. A single breach could disrupt everything, including your reputation. Legacy security tools leave you guessing. Cato IoT/OT Security doesn’t. It provides instant visibility and discovery across your IoT/OT environment, lets you set granular policies, and uses advanced security engines to stop threats. It’s native to our SASE platform so there’s nothing to deploy, and it’s simple to manage. Download our white paper.?

TL;DR?

• Simplifying cloud security and networking just got even easier. Cato SASE Cloud and Cato SSE 360 are now available in AWS Marketplace. Get security, networking, and remote access all in one place. As cloud adoption grows, Cato and AWS are making it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy Cato. It’s the latest step in our partnership to help you transform simply and securely.???

• Familiar threats, unexpected twists. Cyberattacks you thought you knew took dark turns in 2024. In our latest Cybersecurity Masterclass, we unpack some of the year’s most surprising breaches – like how “puppy” prompt injections are deceiving AI, and how a threat actor lay dormant for years before committing a backdoor. Watch now to stay ahead in 2025.??

• Speed without compromise. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team relies on the Cato SASE Cloud Platform to stay secure and connected - from the pit to the podium. Our global, cloud-native SASE architecture delivers the reliability and performance needed to make split-second decisions so the team stays ahead of the competition. Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has kicked off. See how Cato supports the team on and off the track.??

Snippets?

• IT burnout is real. SASE cuts the chaos, automates the grind, and lightens the load – because your IT teams deserve better. Keep them happy, not harried.?

• Disruption isn’t for the faint of heart. Cato defied the odds, rewrote the rules of IT security, and showed the world what convergence really means. See how a bold vision became a reality.?

• More than a network. Cato Connect Community is where connections happen – with answers, ideas, and people who know Cato best. Get connected.?

• Rachel on the rise! Congrats to one of our very own, Rachel Pruyne, who made the 2024 CRN Channel Women on the Rise list. See why she stands out.??

• Ransomware just leveled up. Sophisticated gangs like Hunters International and Play are exfiltrating data before you know they’re there. Cato CTRL shows you how to spot them early, and stop them cold.?

Happy Holidays from all of us at Cato. See you in January for a SASE start to the New Year!??
