Cato Management Application (CMA)
One console. The whole estate.
The Cato Management Application provides full visibility and control of your Cato environment.
Set it once. Enforce it everywhere.
Every Cato capability is built in alignment with the CMA, so policies are centrally managed and consistently enforced.
Nothing to install. Native to the platform.
CMA is a native part of the Cato platform.
Too many consoles, too many gaps.
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.
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.
Manage from one console
Configure security and networking policy for the whole SASE estate in a single application.
