Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) allows organizations to create a single access policy to enterprise resources based on risk and least privilege principles, and enforce it on all users regardless of location – in the office, at home or remote.

Single, Risk-based ZTNA Policy Everywhere

Cato’s Universal ZTNA uses a single risk-based policy to control user access to sensitive data using identity and a variety of access context attributes including device security posture, user geography, application risk, and compliance ratings. Cato consistently enforces ZTNA policies across its global cloud service and all users regardless of their location – office, home, or remote.

WAN Firewall Policy

Continuous Device Posture Evaluation

Cato evaluates connected device posture, including operating system and patches, anti-virus, disk encryption, device firewall, geographic location, and device certificate at connection and throughout the session. If a posture check fails, Cato can terminate the user’s connection entirely or block access to specific resources until the device becomes compliant. Continuous device posture evaluation strengthens the security posture of organizations by ensuring devices meet a minimum set of requirements, reducing the risk of data breaches from compromised endpoints.

Device Posture Configuration

Application Optimization for Consistent User Experience

Remote users often complain about application performance degradation, impacting their productivity. This is typically a result of an unreliable internet connection and traffic backhauling to a central location for security inspection.

The Cato SASE Cloud Platform includes a global private backbone that features robust optimization and QoS capabilities, targeted to deliver optimized access to cloud and on-premises resources from anywhere. With Cato, remote users connected to The Cato SASE Cloud Platform enjoy the same optimized application access as users at office locations, ensuring optimal user experience and maximum productivity, without security compromises.

Bandwidth Management Priorities

Clientless Application Access for 3rd-parties and BYOD

Cato natively supports browser-based clientless access to private applications for users who can’t use the Cato Client. Admins can easily publish applications to a web portal, create access policies, and enable instant secure application access for any user. Cato’s clientless access requires minimal setup and can be deployed with secure authentication from an external SSO and MFA provider of your choice or using Cato’s user database.

Clientless Access Configuration

Full Remote Access Visibility and Control

Cato provides administrators and auditors a dedicated dashboard to monitor remote user connectivity and activity. The dashboard shows currently connected users, their location, their source device and posture, and their application usage analytics. One-click filtering allows further per-user analysis, for related networking, access, and security events which can support the creation of new access policies.

User Application Analytics

Corporate, BYOD, and Wide OS Support for Every Use Case

Cato Universal ZTNA client supports Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, and Linux for maximum coverage, regardless if the device is corporate-owned or BYOD. To help admins seamlessly migrate from their legacy VPN to the Cato Universal ZTNA, central deployment via common Mobile Device Management (MDM) is supported. A self-service portal for user provisioning is available for external contractors and enterprises who do not use MDMs.

Self Service Onboarding Portal

Continuous Threat Prevention and Data Protection

Cato continuously evaluates all user traffic for threat prevention and data protection. Cato’s Single Pass Cloud Engine (SPACE) inspects the user’s session traffic using multiple security engines including FWaaS, SWG, IPS, NGAM, CASB, DLP, RBI, and more. Malicious traffic and unauthorized access to sensitive data are identified, audited, and blocked. Cato helps enterprises address remote access, threat prevention, and data protection requirements using a single platform, avoiding complex routing and integration projects often needed to support remote access cases.

Zero Trust Network Access Video Demo

Cato’s SASE platform offers full-mesh connectivity for all users and locations connected to the service. Granular, context-aware policies are defined in the WAN firewall rules. By default, users can only access explicitly permitted resources, with clientless access options and comprehensive visibility and event tracking.

I vantaggi strategici di una vera piattaforma SASE

Concepite da zero come caratteristiche di una vera e propria piattaforma SASE nativa del cloud, tutte le funzionalità di sicurezza di Cato sfruttano (e continueranno a sfruttare) la distribuzione globale, l’enorme scalabilità, la resilienza avanzata, la gestione autonoma del ciclo di vita e il modello di gestione coerente della piattaforma Cato.

 

Applicazione coerente delle policy di sicurezza

Cato estende tutte le funzionalità di sicurezza a livello globale per assicurare un utilizzo coerente delle policy ovunque e per chiunque, dai data center più strutturati al dispositivo di un singolo utente.

 

Protezione scalabile e resiliente

Cato prevede le giuste misure per ispezionare i flussi di traffico multi-giga con la crittografia TLS completa e tutte le funzionalità di sicurezza. Non solo: è in grado di eseguire il ripristino automatico in caso di guasti dei componenti del servizio per garantire una protezione continua della sicurezza.

 

Gestione autonoma del ciclo di vita

Cato assicura che la piattaforma cloud SASE mantenga un livello di sicurezza efficiente, una disponibilità del servizio del 99,999% e i processi di sicurezza a bassa latenza per tutti gli utenti e i nodi senza coinvolgere in alcun modo il cliente.

 

Un pannello di controllo singolo

Cato offre un pannello di controllo univoco che consente di gestire in modo coerente tutte le funzionalità di sicurezza e rete, tra cui configurazione, analisi, risoluzione dei problemi, rilevamento e risposta agli incidenti. Il modello di gestione unificato facilita l’interazione con nuove funzionalità da parte del reparto IT e dell’azienda.

 

“Abbiamo eseguito una simulazione di violazione e attacco su Cato: i tassi di infezione e di movimento laterale sono diminuiti, mentre i tassi di rilevamento sono aumentati. Questi sono fattori chiave per affidarsi alla sicurezza di Cato”.
