IoT/OT Security

Cato IoT/OT Security extends protection to IoT and OT environments, providing real-time device discovery and classification, granular policy enforcement, and comprehensive threat prevention. As a native feature of the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, Cato IoT/OT Security eliminates complex integration and simplifies management.

IoT/OT Security Capabilities

Instant Device Discovery and Classification

Cato IoT/OT Security, natively built into the Cato SASE Cloud platform, delivers instant, effortless visibility across IT, IoT, and OT environments with no integration required. Purpose-built and trained AI and ML fingerprint devices on the network, mapping their type, manufacturer, and version. Eliminating IoT/OT blind spots enables a complete understanding of this critical attack surface and serves as a foundation for a robust IoT/OT security strategy.

Device Inventory

Granular Policy Enforcement

A complete IoT/OT Security strategy requires more than visibility, and IT teams need the ability to efficiently control IoT/OT device access to internal and external resources. Cato IoT/OT Security empowers IT teams to achieve this. Access policies can be set based on specific device characteristics or, for efficiency, based on grouping by type, manufacturer, or model. Controlling IoT/OT network access helps secure the enterprise network and dramatically reduce the attack surface.

Policy Enforcement

Holistic Threat Prevention

Beyond policy enforcement, Cato IoT/OT Security benefits from the threat prevention capabilities of the Cato SASE Cloud platform. Cato’s Threat Prevention leverages multiple advanced security engines, such as IPS, NGAM, DNS security and inline AI/ML, to safeguard IoT/OT devices against known and zero-day threats. Enterprises benefit from advanced prevention that help reduce their risk.

Simplified Management

Cato IoT/OT Security is a native feature of the Cato Management Application (CMA). All dashboards and reports are consistent with other capabilities in the CMA and the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, eliminating learning a new interface and accelerating time-to-value. Policies, logs, events and objects such as devices, manufacturers, models, users, and sites are consistently presented throughout the CMA. This consistency enables IT teams to easily identify and understand IoT/OT incidents without the need to move between different dashboards across multiple solutions.

Simplified Management

Security Products Sprawl Elimination

IoT and OT security traditionally meant deployment and integration of multiple hardware and software solutions. This approach oftentimes introduces complexity, creates security gaps and adds network latency. With Cato IoT/OT Security being a native part of the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, all IoT/OT security requirements are addressed by a single cloud-delivered solution that converges and optimizes security and networking. This unified approach eliminates complexity of traditional solutions and provides robust security without operational overhead.

Extending the SASE Cloud Platform into IoT/OT Environments

Cato IoT/OT Security enables enterprises to extend SASE-based protection into IoT/OT environments, improving visibility and security while reducing complexity. As a native feature of the Cato SASE Cloud platform, it does not require any integration or special configuration.

The Strategic Benefits of a True SASE Platform

Architected from the ground up as a true cloud-native SASE platform, all Cato’s security capabilities, today and in the future, leverage the global distribution, massive scalability, advanced resiliency, autonomous life cycle management, and consistent management model of the Cato platform.

Consistent Policy Enforcement

Cato extends all security capabilities globally to deliver consistent policy enforcement everywhere and to everyone, from the largest datacenters down to a single user device.

Scalable and Resilient Protection

Cato scales to inspect multi-gig traffic streams with full TLS decryption and across all security capabilities, and can automatically recover from service component failures to ensure continuous security protection.

Autonomous Life Cycle Management

Cato ensures the SASE cloud platform maintains optimal security posture, 99.999% service availability, and low-latency security processing for all users and locations, without any customer involvement.

Single Pane of Glass

Cato provides a single pane of glass to consistently manage all security and networking capabilities including configuration, analytics, troubleshooting, and incident detection and response. Unified management model eases new capabilities adoption by IT and the business.

“We ran a breach-and-attack simulator on Cato, Infection rates and lateral movement just dropped while detection rates soared. These were key factors in trusting Cato security.”
