Universal ZTNA

Secure access everywhere your people work.

Cato Universal ZTNA delivers application access that adapts to risk — least-privilege access from any device or location, with full visibility and one centralized policy.

Today’s Challenges

Legacy VPNs weren’t built for how you work now.

Broad VPN network access exposes far more than a single app
Different access rules per tool leave policy gaps
Network-level access lets attackers move laterally across systems

Overexposed by VPNs

VPNs grant broad network access, exposing far more than the single app a user actually needs.

Policy gaps

Different access rules per tool leave gaps across employees, contractors, and partners.

Lateral movement

Network-level access lets attackers move laterally across systems once they’re inside.

Security Engineer, Collectors

If you want to move toward a Zero Trust architecture, you need integrated security controls. If it’s not integrated, you have gaps. Cato makes that practical.

We have one platform, one team, and we’re 80% of the way to full Zero Trust. Cato didn’t just consolidate our environment-it gave us a future-proof network to build on.

We moved off Cisco’s client-based VPN for vendors and implemented Cato’s browser access control instead. This lets our vendors access jump servers via RDP without installing a VPN client.
