Best WAN Edge Infrastructure Software

Cato enables customers to gradually transform their WAN for the digital business. Cato SASE Cloud is a global converged cloud-native service that securely and optimally connects all branches, datacenters, people, and clouds. Cato can be gradually deployed to replace or augment legacy network services and security point solutions. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a new enterprise networking category introduced by Gartner. SASE converges SD-WAN and network security point solutions (FWaaS, CASB, SWG, and ZTNA) into a unified, cloud-native service. In the past, network access was implemented with point solutions, managed as silos that were complex and costly. This hurt IT agility. With SASE, enterprises can reduce the time to develop new products, deliver them to the market, and respond to changes in business conditions or the competitive landscape.

SASE is the future of converged security and networking. From ZTNA, SWG to cloud-delivered NGFW, the Fortinet platform provides complete readiness for embracing SASE. FortiSASE is Fortinet’s scalable cloud-based service powered by decades of FortiOS innovations and FortiGuard Labs AI-driven Threat Intelligence delivers best-in-class security and consistent protection for modern hybrid workforce and across all edges. With networks expanding beyond the WAN edge to thin branch networks and the cloud, traditional hub and spoke infrastructure models centered around the corporate data center begin to break down. A new networking and security strategy is required that combines network and security functions with WAN capabilities to support the dynamic, secure internet access for a “work from anywhere” workforce. That strategy is Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE.
