The Divine SASE Touch The Paris Olympics are coming up, arousing excitement and anticipation around the globe. As the world’s greatest athletes prepare to compete on this renowned stage, let’s shift our focus to a few of the earliest Olympics competitors - the Greek Gods. These deities, myth says, competed in the ancient Olympics, and later on, the Games were held in their honor. To this day, the Olympics are a global festival of what the Gods symbolized - strength, resilience and elegance.
Modern Olympus: Digital Deities
Today, much of our capabilities and influence come from technology. Just as the Greek Gods wielded immense control over their realm, IT teams hold the keys to the digital kingdom - our modern utopia. They keep businesses moving forward, supporting strategic initiatives like hybrid work, cloud migration, expansion, and M&A, while protecting against attackers.
Similar to the Greek Gods’ distinct abilities, IT teams possess specialized skills that are critical for overseeing and managing the technological infrastructure that powers modern businesses. Their leadership, governance, specialization, and ability to rise to challenges, strategically influence the business and can determine its fate. However, unlike the Gods, IT teams have access to powerful technology tools and solutions that amplify their efforts.
SASE: The New Divine Tool for IT Titans
Among these powerful tools is SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) - converging SD-WAN, a cloud network, and robust security functions into a unified, cloud-native solution. SASE provides a potent, innovative, and holistic solution to overcome the point complexities posed by the old legacy IT giants, making modern life better and more secure.
But, not all SASE is created equal.
Some SASE offerings are constructed from disparate technologies, Cato Networks stands apart with a true cloud-native SASE platform. Architected from the ground up, Cato SASE Cloud provides unmatched security, scalability, agility, and efficiency both now and in the future. For IT, this marks a new era of capability and insightfulness, akin to the powers of the Greek Gods themselves:
Five Gods and Goddesses stand out as embodiments of the powers that IT teams can now harness with SASE: Zeus, Hercules, Aphrodite, Athena and Artemis.
Zeus
Zeus is the supreme deity among the Olympian Gods, representing power and control. He governs the heavens and earth, overseeing natural phenomena such as thunder, lightning and storms.
Similarly, IT teams can provide leadership and governance over the organization's technological landscape. They can set the direction for IT projects, infrastructure investments, and cybersecurity policies, ensuring alignment with business goals.
With Cato SASE Cloud, IT teams ensure comprehensive security across all aspects of the network, from endpoints to the cloud, ensuring governance and protection everywhere just like Zeus oversees all of Olympus. SASE impacts the lives of customers and organizations just like Zeus touched upon the lives of all mortals and immortals.
Cato converges a wide range of security capabilities into a global cloud-native service that scales while automating resilience, security posture, and performance optimization. Instead of patching vulnerabilities, replacing boxes, or spending a weekend testing high availability, Cato eliminates the ‘grunt work’ that has plagued IT teams, allowing them to focus on partnering with the business, providing exceptional service, enabling business growth, and spending time on personal pursuits.
Hercules
Hercules is renowned for his incredible strength, courage, and numerous heroic deeds through the Twelve Labors.
Similar to Hercules, IT teams need to have relentless problem-solving skills and resilience. They handle a broad spectrum of issues, from routine maintenance to critical system outages, to cyber attacks, requiring quick and effective solutions.
With Cato, IT teams can enjoy the resilience offered in the face of challenges, ensuring the network remains strong and secure. Cato SASE Cloud connects and protects every location, user, and application, in any geography, and at any scale. This allows efficient enforcement of corporate policies for threat prevention and sensitive data protection, so IT can deal with its own Twelve Labors - cyber attacks, employee requirements, and quickly supporting business needs.
Aphrodite
Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, elegance and desire. With SASE, IT teams can enjoy seamless and effortless operations and provide users with a smooth and graceful user experience. This is akin to the traits of this goddess herself.
Cato changes how IT security infrastructure is built, replacing it with an elegant platform that takes away the pain of selecting, validating, integrating, and deploying incremental networking and security capabilities, as well as product footprints, contracts, and billing cycles. Instead, everything is seamlessly converged in one solution. This simplifies day-to-day management, creating harmony and organizational aesthetics and functionality.
Enterprises and their users love Cato SASE Cloud and the effortless experience it provides.
Athena
Athena, known as the goddess of wisdom, courage and strategic warfare in Greek mythology, is one of the most revered and majestic deities among the Olympian gods. Similarly, IT requires strategic and critical thinking, choosing innovative and intelligent solutions that safeguard and advance an organization's infrastructure with digital transformation.
Cato enables IT to partner with the business and drive strategic business outcomes. By eliminating complexity, and reducing risks and costs, Cato SASE Cloud platform enhances IT’s agility, responsiveness, and impact, so it can move like Athena, at the speed of the digital business.
Artemis
Artemis is known as the goddess of the hunt in Greek mythology. Just like Artemis, IT teams need to be agile, vigilant and have the ability to target and resolve specific issues swiftly and effectively.
Cato SASE Cloud provides secure access, allowing users to connect safely wherever they may be. Users can establish a secure and optimized connection from anywhere, to any application, on-premises or in the cloud. Access security is provided through risk-based application access policies, EDP/EDR, a next generation malware engine, and more. In addition, all WAN, Cloud and Internet traffic is fully protected against threats and sensitive data loss. This reflects Artemis's precision and care in tracking her prey.
