China Connectivity with Cato: Performance, Compliance, Simplicity

As a market, manufacturing base, and supply chain hub, China is central to global enterprise operations. But connecting into and across China introduces regulatory, operational, and architectural challenges. Legacy architectures force organizations to manage separate providers, complex contracts, and additional compliance work—adding cost, delays, and risk.

Cato integrates China directly into your global platform with licensed PoPs in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. All security and policy enforcement is applied inline and locally, managed through a single platform and policy engine—ensuring better performance and full compliance.

This eBook lays out what breaks when you rely on overlays, public internet paths, and carve-outs—and how Cato provides secure, compliant connectivity in and out of China—without the red tape or slowdowns.

What’s inside:

• Four foundational requirements for enterprise connectivity in China: compliance, performance, protection, and operational ease.
• Where legacy models fail: Great Firewall bottlenecks to MPLS cost and carrier overlay complexity.
• The compliance catch: Why partial enforcement equals systemic exposure.
• How Cato integrates China as part of the platform: Licensed PoPs, inline security, and one policy engine.
• Use cases that don’t compromise: SaaS access for China-based users, hybrid work, and regulated industries.
