TEL AVIV, Israel, July 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cato Networks, the SASE leader, today announced it has once again been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms.

"We believe being named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms for a second consecutive year is a strong validation of our ability to deliver a true SASE platform to enterprises. We think Cato's continued recognition validates our position in the market as the pioneer and category creator of SASE—shaping the market and continuing to advance it forward," said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO at Cato Networks. "As enterprises worldwide seek to enhance their security posture and simplify their network infrastructure, Cato stands out by delivering the world's leading SASE platform that meets the demanding IT requirements of enterprises of all sizes and geographies."

"Our focus on research and innovation around AI, built on top of an already highly efficient SASE platform, puts Cato ahead of many vendors in the market," said Ofir Agasi, chief product officer at Cato Networks. "Cato's AI capabilities empower security and IT teams to shift their focus from task automation to supporting strategic business goals."

Cato is the first vendor in the world to purpose-build a SASE platform from the ground up, rather than through countless integrations and acquisitions. The Cato SASE Cloud Platform delivers true convergence of advanced networking (SD-WAN and global private backbone) and security (NGFW and SSE) capabilities, enhanced by highly-trained AI—all managed through a single console and unified data lake that's easy to deploy, use, and manage. With a cloud-native architecture and global private backbone, Cato is uniquely positioned to deliver the business outcomes promised by SASE. It is the architecture that enables IT teams to lead and provide value without compromising security, connectivity, agility, or resiliency.

According to Gartner Peer Insights™, Cato is the most-reviewed SASE vendor and has received a 4.7 out of 5 rating based on more than 275 reviews as of July 2025. Cato's viewpoint is that the customer reviews highlight how a simple, unified platform and intelligent automation reduce operational headaches and free IT resources for strategic work.
