Cato Networks, the provider of SD-WAN and SASE (secure access service edge) services, is partnering with Horizon Telecom to deliver its SASE Cloud architecture to enterprises across Europe.
Cato converges enterprise networking and security into a global cloud service, aiming to eliminate the complexity, costs and risks associated with legacy IT approaches to connectivity. With Cato, all users, regardless if they sit in MPLS-connected offices or Wi-Fi-connected homes, can securely connect to Cato’s global private backbone, and safely access enterprise apps and services in data centres, the cloud or across the internet.
“Horizon Telecom has proven experience in providing SD-WAN and SASE solutions,” said Mark Draper, EMEA channel director for Cato Networks. “Their smart and flexible way of personally helping and supporting customers shows the added value that we want for our customers. We look forward to partnering with them.”
“With applications moving to the cloud and users working from any location, organisations need to adopt digital transformation,” added Melvin Jellesma, managing director at Horizon Telecom. “Some organisations prefer a best-of-breed strategy. Others prefer an all-in-one solution. Cato’s all-in-one full SASE solution - covering secure access for any user to any application, from any device and any location, including home and remote workers - enables us to support both types of organisations with their digital transformation.”
Last week, Cato Networks announced an investment in the company from telco Swisscom. Stefan Kuentz, partner at Swisscom Ventures, said of the investment: “Building SASE capabilities is a strategic initiative for CSPs (communications service providers), and we are supporting Cato’s mission to accelerate SASE adoption by customers and partners alike.”
