Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In today’s hybrid working environment, the software as a service (SaaS) apps employees use, and security service edge (SSE) solutions organizations use to secure it are dynamic and distributed. You sometimes need to deal with complex user experience issues without clear visibility into where they originate. Let’s take a look at some increasingly common situations and explore some proven ways IT leaders are regaining control.

Today we are very excited to unveil Netskope One, which is our new name for the full range of market-leading Netskope capabilities that are contained in, and delivered by, a single platform. Netskope One enables security, infrastructure and operations (I&O) teams to reduce risk, cost, and complexity, protecting and accelerating everything to everywhere. Not only can we offer these unique capabilities; crucially, we are the only vendor that can deliver them all in a single platform.

In today’s era of digital transformation, organizations are rapidly shifting towards a distributed and dynamic digital infrastructure. This new reality is characterized by hybrid workforces, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud hosting. While this transformation brings numerous benefits, it also introduces significant challenges for IT organizations, particularly in terms of maintaining visibility over user experience and performance management.

As cyber threats continue expanding, endpoints have become ground zero in the fight to protect corporate resources. Advanced cyber threats pose a serious risk, so protecting corporate endpoints and data should be a high priority. Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPPs) are the first line of defense against endpoint cyber-attacks. It provides malware protection, zero-day protection, and device and application control. Additionally, EPPs serve a valuable role in meeting regulatory compliance mandates.

Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Frank Rauch, Global Channel Chief of Cato Networks, as he shares his insights on our exciting announcement about Cato introducing the world’s first SASE-based, extended detection and response (XDR) and the first SASE-managed endpoint protection platform (EPP).

As more organizations collectively progress toward adopting a SASE architecture, it has become clear that the traditional SASE market definition (SSE + SD-WAN) is not enough. It forces some teams to work with multiple vendors to address their specific needs, introducing performance and security tradeoffs. More worrisome, it draws focus more to a checklist of services than a vendor’s underlying architecture.

I bet many of you have experienced those frustrating moments on Zoom, Teams, or any other Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform like RingCentral. You know what I’m talking about—the dreaded video and audio glitches caused by a less-than-stellar internet connection, which are often completely out of your hands.

Today, Cato is furthering our goal of simplifying security operations with two important additions to Cato SASE Cloud. First, we’re leveraging generative AI to summarize all the indicators related to a security issue. Second, we tapped ML to accelerate the identification and ranking of threats by finding similar past threats across an individual customer’s account and all Cato accounts.
