TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cato Networks, the SASE leader, today announced it has joined the AI Incident Sharing Initiative launched by the MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense and MITRE ATLAS.

"We look forward to collaborating with MITRE and others on the AI Incident Sharing Initiative. Cybersecurity is a team sport and this is an opportunity to work together to successfully defend AI-enabled systems."

"As a leader in threat intelligence, we believe Cato Networks brings a lot of value to the AI Incident Sharing Initiative with their AI expertise," said Jon Baker, director of research and development, Center for Threat-Informed Defense at MITRE Engenuity. "This initiative will serve as the safe space for AI assurance incident sharing at the intersection of the industry, government, and extended community."

Anyone can submit an incident via the public incident sharing site. Upon submission, their organization will be considered for membership in the trusted community of data receivers. Sharing and receiving this protected information will enable more data-driven risk intelligence and analysis at scale across the community.
