Cato Networks to Speak on SASE Platform Experience at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2024 in Barcelona

October 22, 2024

Learn why only by understanding the iPhone revolution can IT leaders properly evaluate single-vendor SASE platforms   

TEL AVIV, Israel, October 22, 2024 – Cato Networks, the SASE leader, today announced that Eyal Webber-Zvik (Cato’s vice president of product marketing and strategic alliances) will present at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2024 in Barcelona. The session, “Why Should CIOs Treat Selecting a SASE Vendor like Buying an iPhone?” (Tuesday, November 5 at 12:40 PM CET), will explore lessons learned from Apple and the iPhone revolution that can and should be applied to single-vendor SASE evaluations. 

“The iPhone changed everything in consumer electronics, underscoring the importance of the ‘How,’” said Webber-Zvik. “Single-vendor SASE is having a comparable impact on infrastructure technologies. Only by digesting Apple’s lessons can IT leaders make an informed decision about single-vendor SASE platforms.”   

During his session, Webber-Zvik will: 

  • ⁠⁠Analyze how the elegance and seamlessness of the iPhone can be applied to SASE. 
  • List the key outcomes that should be expected from a true SASE platform. 
  • Provide valuable insights to use in a single-vendor SASE evaluation. 

Before his current role leading product marketing and strategic alliances, Webber-Zvik ran Cato’s product management organization. The team launched the Cato SASE Cloud Platform in 2016, which today is relied on by more than 2,500 enterprises. Webber-Zvik blends deep technical expertise with business acumen and has been involved in many SASE deployments worldwide.
