Cato AI Security for Applications

Protect homegrown AI applications and agents from runtime threats. Cato blocks jailbreaks, prompt injection, and unsafe autonomous behavior with low latency and industry-leading accuracy. Available as a standalone capability or as part of Cato’s converged cloud-native SASE platform for flexible deployment and seamless integration.

Cato AI Security for Applications Capabilities

Enforce Runtime Guardrails for AI Applications

Inspect prompts, responses, and agent actions at runtime. Cato’s AI-Firewall detects jailbreaks, prompt injection, and off-policy responses then blocks or redacts noncompliant actions before they impact users, systems, or data.

Secure Homegrown AI Agents

Secure and govern the agents that you build, locally or on managed platforms. Cato’s runtime guardrails block agentic exploits and prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration while preserving full traceability.

Detection Backed by Research

Cato’s Detection Engine combines Cato AI Labs’ vulnerability research with semantic encoders and AI-native classifiers to detect zero-day threats, including jailbreaks, prompt injection, and agentic exploits. By understanding intent, not just keywords, it delivers high-fidelity, low-latency protection with minimal false positives.

Lab

Secure Data at Interaction-level

Protect sensitive information inside prompts and outputs by redacting or blocking exposed data and preventing AI-driven exfiltration that traditional DLP/CASB can’t see. Apply prompt-level guardrails in real-time to prevent leaks or unsafe outputs before they reach users or external models.

Risk

Protect Homegrown AI from Training Through Inference

Cato provides visibility and governance into datasets, notebooks, training models, and serving endpoints, while guardrails protect apps at runtime, providing full visibility and control over AI apps across environments.

Discover and Inventory AI Apps and Agents

Create a single view of every AI application and agent, across environments. Cato discovers and inventories AI services, captures provenance and risk metadata, and ties pre-production posture and scans to runtime guardrails for governance.

Use_case

Centralize Your Policy and Reporting

Use one control plane to enforce consistent policies for all homegrown apps and agents across the AI surface. Gain operational confidence and a single source of truth for governance, compliance, and incident response.

Auditing

Flexible and Lightweight Deployment

Deploy AI security agentlessly via proxy interception, AI-gateway integrations, or APIs into model platforms and developer tools like AWS Bedrock, Azure ML and others. No new software required – minimizing operational overhead while preserving performance.

Secure Enterprise
AI Apps and Agents

When you deploy an AI application, do you know what’s being sent into it, or, what’s coming back out? Cato AI Security provides runtime protection for the AI applications your organization builds and deploys, with real-time enforcement, sensitive data anonymization, and a complete audit trail across every interaction.

The Strategic Benefits of a True SASE Platform

Architected from the ground up as a true cloud-native SASE platform, all Cato’s security capabilities, today and in the future, leverage the global distribution, massive scalability, advanced resiliency, autonomous life cycle management, and consistent management model of the Cato platform.

Consistent Policy Enforcement

Cato extends all security capabilities globally to deliver consistent policy enforcement everywhere and to everyone, from the largest datacenters down to a single user device.

Scalable and Resilient Protection

Cato scales to inspect multi-gig traffic streams with full TLS decryption and across all security capabilities, and can automatically recover from service component failures to ensure continuous security protection.

Autonomous Life Cycle Management

Cato ensures the SASE cloud platform maintains optimal security posture, 99.999% service availability, and low-latency security processing for all users and locations, without any customer involvement.

Single Pane of Glass

Cato provides a single pane of glass to consistently manage all security and networking capabilities including configuration, analytics, troubleshooting, and incident detection and response. Unified management model eases new capabilities adoption by IT and the business.

“We ran a breach-and-attack simulator on Cato, Infection rates and lateral movement just dropped while detection rates soared. These were key factors in trusting Cato security.”
