Cato + AWS: The power of partnership for a secure, connected cloud 

In enterprise IT, there’s a familiar story: moving applications to the cloud is easy—but securely connecting cloud workloads isn’t. 

Cloud migration is no longer a question of if, but how fast enterprises can make the shift. As of 2025, an estimated 67% of enterprise infrastructure runs in the cloud, highlighting the widespread adoption of cloud hosting and infrastructure services worldwide. Public cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) lead the provider pack—with AWS capturing the largest share of the market at approximately 30%, according to CRN. 

These figures show the significant role that public cloud platforms play in enterprise strategies—allowing them to scale, innovate, and stay competitive.  

The cloud paradox 

Enterprises choose AWS for improved business agility, increased scalability and flexibility, and of course, cost savings. But too often, their outdated security and networking infrastructure holds them back. Physical firewalls can’t support cloud migration or hybrid work, VPNs become chokepoints, and disjointed security policies create gaps. Legacy architecture is stuck in the past—rigid, fragmented, and unable to keep up with cloud agility. Not to mention costly to manage and maintain. 

Instead of simplifying IT, the cloud has exposed just how unsuitable legacy solutions are for modern workloads—and this is a problem Cato was built to solve. 

Bringing security and networking up to cloud speed 

Cato Networks is the leader in SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), converging networking and security into a single, global, cloud-native platform. With the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, there’s no more stacking and juggling point solutions, no more hard-to-manage hardware, and no upfront cost hits. Just seamless security and optimized connectivity, anywhere in the world. 

Cato now in AWS Marketplace—leveraging AWS EDP 

Back in 2024, Cato joined the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, expanding our partnership with AWS. This program enables Cato to collaborate closely with AWS field sellers, helping enterprises integrate cloud-native security and networking directly into their AWS strategies, right from the start.

With Cato now available in AWS Marketplace, organizations can easily secure and connect their AWS environments while leveraging their existing AWS committed spend and discounts. By purchasing compute, storage, connectivity, security, and remote access solutions from one marketplace, AWS customers eliminate procurement delays, simplify budgeting, and make cloud transformation cost-effective.

Acceptance into the AWS ISV Accelerate Program confirms that Cato meets AWS’s rigorous standards for quality, reliability, and technical excellence. This validation provides enterprises with confidence that the Cato SASE Cloud Platform is optimized for AWS environments. Enterprises can now confidently integrate Cato into their AWS environment from day one, without the complexity and delays of traditional solutions.  

Plus, Cato’s renowned customer experience is front and center of our AWS Marketplace strategy—with an elevated purchasing, deployment, and support model that’s driving high net promoter score (NPS) and customer satisfaction (CSAT) scores. 

With Cato and AWS working together, enterprises can stop fighting their IT security infrastructure and start focusing on what matters—growth, innovation, and agility. 

Supporting the partner ecosystem 

For organizations working with technology partners or trusted advisors, Cato operates a channel-first go-to-market (GTM) strategy that ensures partners are part of the procurement process. This ensures a seamless transaction while still leveraging the AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP). Our approach allows enterprises to maintain their trusted partner relationships while benefiting from the simplicity and cost efficiency of AWS Marketplace. 

AI-powered intelligent protection  

Most recently, Cato has integrated Amazon Bedrock into the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, enhancing its natural language search and knowledge base AI assistant to simplify networking and security operations.  

With natural language search, IT teams can now ask questions in everyday language and get instant insights—no complex queries, no manual searches. The knowledge base AI assistant taps into Cato’s vast information repository, delivering fast, relevant answers when they’re needed most.  

Amazon Bedrock is also leveraged for Cato Autonomous Policies for FWaaS to continuously analyze not only rule configurations, but also the intent behind them by interpreting metadata such as rule names and free-text descriptions. This capability was showcased at AWS Summit Tel Aviv 2025.

How the AWS-Cato partnership continues to evolve 

Cato and AWS are just getting started on our partnership journey to ensure enterprises get even greater value from their cloud investments. As businesses expand their cloud footprints, Cato and AWS are continuously aligning their efforts, focusing on more integrated capabilities, expanded AWS Marketplace offerings, and closer alignment with AWS services to meet security and networking needs—making it much easier for organizations to secure their cloud environments at scale. 

The future of cloud-delivered security starts now 

For too long, enterprises have had to choose: move fast in the cloud or stay secure with legacy infrastructure. Cato and AWS eliminate this tradeoff. With a fully cloud-native approach, enterprises get instant access to secure networking, built for AWS-scale agility. 

The ability to procure, deploy, and integrate Cato directly within AWS Marketplace removes the barriers that once slowed cloud adoption. With the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, security is no longer an IT headache—it’s built into the fabric of AWS itself. 

Cloud adoption isn’t slowing down. Cato and AWS are making it easier than ever to move quickly, securely, and seamlessly. Don’t let outdated IT infrastructure hold you back. Explore Cato in AWS Marketplace today.
