A CLOUD-BASED SINGLE NETWORKING & SECURITY SOLUTION
What is SASE?
(pronounced SASSY)
SASE = Secure Access Service Edge
Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, is an enterprise networking and security category introduced by Gartner. SASE converges SD-WAN, a Cloud Network, and Security Service Edge (SSE) functions, including FWaaS, CASB, DLP, SWG, and ZTNA, into a unified, cloud-native service.
With SASE, enterprises can eliminate the effort and costs required to maintain complex and fragmented infrastructure made of point solutions, reduce the risk for breach and data loss with optimal security posture, enable secure work from anywhere, and improve access to global applications on premises and in the cloud.
CATO SASE FOR CREDIT UNIONS
Digital Transformation = A Better Consumer Experience
Credit unions have deep, earned roots in their communities, with decades earning the trust of their members. Now, digital transformation is pivotal in the banking industry. Instead of viewing digitization as an obstacle to overcome, credit unions will want to recognize that it’s absolutely a huge opportunity to better serve their members, and attract new business. Younger consumers want a broader range of digital services that serves their needs.
Today, credit unions have to adapt to modern innovations to build healthier relationships with members. This has introduced new challenges for credit unions, including security, cost-effectiveness, and compliance.
Cato’s SASE cloud-native solution can ensure credit unions gain the benefits of digital transformation by providing a solution to these challenges - a single networking and security platform that enables your team to become fast, agile, and efficient.

BENEFITS OF CATO SASE
FOR CREDIT UNIONS
With its ease of deployment, agility, fast networking, robust security, and consistent set of standards, Cato SASE Cloud provided Forvis (now Forvis Mazars) with the ideal solution to address its dual transformation and M&A challenges: Cato optimally connects all enterprise network resources, including branch locations, the hybrid workforce, and physical and cloud datacenters, into a secure global, cloud-native service.
“In addition to the highly regulated accounting industry, we practice in a lot of industries that have their own strict compliance standards,” said their CIO, “They want us to produce SOC 2 and other reports, so we need to know we have the systems, platforms, and controls in place to do so. We also work with a lot more third-party workers in North America and other continents who affect our security posture.”

“Cato installation is easy, and we can provide our virtual service model more effectively if we’re all on the same network.”
- FORVIS CIO
“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.”
- Danish multinational brewer
“What I have heard from my team is, ‘I love that the problems I’m solving on a day-to-day basis are on a completely different order than what I used to have to deal with before.’ They think about complex traffic problems and application troubleshooting and performance.”
— Director, technology, advisory, tax, and assurance
“Honestly, I was shocked to see how easy it was to set up and maintain an SD-WAN solution based on the whole CATO Dashboard. Now there’s a saying that with [the previous solution], you need 10 engineers to set it up and 20 engineers to keep it running. With Cato, this all went away. It’s in the dashboard. Within the hour, you understand the idea behind it and then you can just do it.”
