Today’s Challenges

Too many consoles, too many gaps.

Networking and security split across separate consoles
Config pushed to disparate devices leaves posture gaps
NetOps and SecOps work in different tools
Coordinating changes device-by-device is slow and error-prone

Console sprawl

Managing networking and security across separate consoles fragments visibility and slows every change.

Configuration gaps

Pushing config to disparate devices creates gaps in security posture and extends the attack surface.

Siloed network and security teams

When NetOps and SecOps work in different tools, incident response is slower and harder to coordinate.

Slow, risky changes

Coordinating changes device-by-device is slow and error-prone, leaving inconsistent enforcement behind.

Our approach

Networking and security, unified.

Running networking and security from separate consoles slows every change and hides the full picture. The Cato Management Application unifies configuration, monitoring, and analytics in a single pane of glass, so policy changes propagate everywhere in minutes.

How it works

Cato Management Application (CMA) Capabilities

True single pane of glass

Consistent policies everywhere

All Cato capabilities are developed in alignment with the CMA, so policies are centrally managed and consistently enforced.

Central policy for FWaaS, CASB, DLP, RBI, and more

No config pushed to disparate devices

Changes take effect in minutes, organization-wide

Networking + security, unified

A one-stop-shop for network management

Cato delivers all networking and security from a single software stack, enabling a truly unified management application.

Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot centrally

Edge SD-WAN, IPsec, routing, DNS, DHCP, QoS

NetOps and SecOps collaborate in one platform

Topology to event in clicks

Instant visibility to actionable information

The CMA delivers complete visibility: high-level topology views, dashboards across metrics, and drill-down discovery to specific sites, users, or events.

Real-time topology of all sites and users

Dashboards across threats, usage, and performance

Customizable event discovery across the account

XDR workbench

Streamlined investigation for security incidents

Indicators of compromise are grouped by Cato XDR (part of Cato XOps) into ‘stories’ and presented in a dedicated CMA XDR workbench.

One click expands an incident with full tools

Consistent syntax, objects, and references

Initiate remediation directly from the CMA

Granular RBAC

Provision and manage your administrators

The CMA fits into your IT org structure with SSO and MFA support and granular role-based access controls.

Scope admin control by geography and domain

Integrate your SSO and MFA providers

Comprehensive audit trail of all admin activity

Licenses + hardware

Centrally manage licenses and SD-WAN hardware

The CMA provides visibility into licensing and edge SD-WAN hardware across the full device life cycle.

The convergence of security and network in one solution–one pane of glass–was where we wanted to go. Cato provided us with that. Other solutions didn’t make sense.
