What is SASE and why it matters at this time of crisis? IT executives need to move everyone to work from home and keep access secure and optimized – so productivity remains high and costs are controlled.   

In this video, Cato’s Solution Architect Jack Dolan demos the power of bi-directional QoS, advanced bandwidth management, and real-time application analytics.

In this video, Cato’s Sr. Sales Engineer Sylvain Chareyre demos IT agility as he configures VoIP and ERP optimization for 3000 employees across the world in minutes.

Watch this product demo of Cato’s Secure Remote Access and see how new users are created, configured and connected; how they benefit from Cato’s integrated security and optimization, and how they can easily and securely access enterprise resources in the cloud and on-premises.  

It’s a detailed explanation of Cato Network’s SASE (Secure access service edge) platform by industry veteran and Cato Networks CMO, Yishay Yovel, with 25 years of experience in defining and deploying enterprise IT software solutions in the areas of security, storage, business continuity, and mobile computing.

• The value of SASE and key use case examples 
• The signs indicating it’s time to start planning a SASE migration 
• Easy-to-follow guidelines for ensuring a successful migration project 
• Pragmatic tips for funding the migration project without additional budget allocation 
• The critical role SASE plays in business continuity 

In our recent paper, “SASE: The Optimal Architecture to Secure and Connect the New Enterprise Perimeters”, we show how SASE’s converged and cloud-native architecture can address all enterprise perimeters with a single, unified, and coherent architecture. Why? SASE is uniquely positioned to overcome the lack of visibility and control introduced by the new perimeters.

• Cloud-native software and the convergence of networking and security into one service. 
• Global private backbone with optimized connectivity, high availability, and support for cloud and mobile. 
• Flexible service management options, with zero touch provisioning and immediate expert support. 

• The shortcomings of IP-VPN and why MPLS cost reduction isn’t enough 
• Why cloud-native SD-WAN is the best alternative for IP-VPN 
• The converged approach for meeting the modern digital business needs 

• How a retailer replaced more than 100 branch office firewalls with SASE and dramatically simplified security operations.
• The food provider who improved branch security AND even network performance in North America by moving to a SASE platform.
• The health service provider whose analysis showed how SASE would reduce costs by as much as 6x when compared with MPLS and branch security appliances
• The oil company that found eliminating branch appliances helped them deploy locations in under 30 minutes with SASE
• The orthopedic practice who got better security AND deeper visibility into how bandwidth was being consumed by switching to SASE.

• The other provider’s service would have meant spending around 2x more than with the SASE solution and still not get any of the security services.
• The voice quality of Skype for Business has been the same as with MPLS but, of course, at a fraction of the cost. In fact, if we measure it, the packet loss and latency figures appear to be even better.
• We got the functionality of SD-WAN, a global backbone, and security service for our sites and mobile users integrated together and at a fraction of the cost.

• Move from MPLS to SD-WAN to reduce costs without compromising on performance.
• Implement cloud access optimization to improve hybrid-cloud and multicloud user experience.
• Replace security appliances with security services to improve security posture and reduce costs.
• Adopt controlled cloud access to ensure cloud usage doesn’t compromise security and privacy.
• Switch from UC to UCaaS and reduce opex, improve uptime, and get users communicating instantly.

• Why the adage “nobody got fired for clinging to…” can hurt you when it comes to MPLS, and how cloud-based SD-WAN provides a viable alternative
• What the cloud does that will disrupt your existing network and security architecture, and how to get ready for that change
• How “addressing a problem when we get there” ends up exposing your company to higher costs and more risk, and why holistic planning is a lot easier than you might think
