Cato Networks was built with AI, security, and networking in its DNA. Our security capabilities are delivered from a single, cloud-native platform, with expert security researchers and data scientists working 24/7 to ensure customers benefit from the most advanced threat prevention and data protection. Cato provides enterprises of all sizes, across all verticals, with consistent security inspection and enforcement – keeping them at an optimal security posture everywhere, anytime, for everyone and everything.
Cato CTRL (Cyber Threats Research Lab) is Cato Networks’ dedicated threat intelligence unit. It delivers Actionable, Reliable, and Timely (ART) insights to support strategic, operational, and tactical risk management. By analyzing internal network telemetry, external threat data, and applying expert human analysis, Cato CTRL equips SOC teams, leadership, and boards with critical intelligence. Its security reports, real‑time blogs, and webinars dissect threat actors’ tactics, tools, and procedures to strengthen enterprise security across the full threat lifecycle.
Cato’s Rapid CVE Mitigation provides automated virtual patching, proactively protecting enterprises from critical vulnerabilities before exploits occur. Leveraging the cloud-native IPS layer of its Single Pass Cloud Engine (SPACE), Cato quickly detects and neutralizes new CVEs in days—or sometimes even hours—eliminating manual patching delays. This capability significantly reduces enterprise exposure to threats that could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, and financial or reputational damage, ensuring continuous, optimal security posture without overloading IT security teams.
Cato’s Cybersecurity Masterclasses, hosted by Etay Maor (Cato’s Chief Security Strategist) and Cato CTRL experts, offer hands-on, case-driven deep dives into real-world cyber threats. Each ~60‑minute episode tackles topics ranging from OSINT and ransomware tactics to AI misuse, phishing evasion, supply chain compromises, and industrial control system risks. Geared toward security pros, IT teams, and C‑suite leaders, these sessions blend expert insight with practical guidance to help organizations stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape. up-to-date protection with near zero false positives with no customer involvement.
Cato’s Threat Research Reports, produced by Cato CTRL, surface real-world threat trends such as the resurgence of Log4j, rising in reputation‑based/phishing attacks, IoT and TOR misuse, and advanced techniques like deepfake voice cloning and AI‑assisted hacking. These reports uniquely fuse granular network telemetry, threat intelligence, AI and ML, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and dark web insights—offering actionable intelligence and visibility critical for cybersecurity professionals aiming to anticipate and defend against evolving threats.
Cato CTRL researchers are featured at major security conferences, delivering unique insights on AI‑enhanced threats and evasive cyberattacks. In their talks, they spotlight how threat actors exploit IT complexity and use advanced evasion methods to bypass layered defenses. They’ve uncovered LLM jailbreak tactics like “Immersive World,” identified WormGPT variants, demonstrated AI‑powered systems that mine real‑time data from platforms like X, and revealed advanced stealth tactics used by adversaries to bypass cloud and network protections.
Customers use Cato to eliminate complex legacy architectures comprised of multiple security point solutions and costly network services. Cato’s unique SASE platform consistently and autonomously delivers secure and optimized application access everywhere and to everyone.
