Cato Networks introduces SASE-based XDR

Cato Networks has expanded its SASE Cloud platform into threat detection and incident response with Cato XDR, an SASE-based, extended detection and response (XDR) solution. Available immediately, Cato XDR utilises the functional and operational capabilities of the Cato SASE Cloud to overcome the protracted deployment times, limited data quality, and inadequate investigation and response experience too often associated with legacy XDR solutions.

Cato has also introduced Cato EPP, the first SASE-managed endpoint protection platform (EPP/EDR). Together, Cato XDR and Cato EPP mark the first expansion beyond the original SASE scope pioneered by Cato in 2016 and defined by industry analysts in 2019. SASE’s security capabilities encompassed threat prevention and data protection in a common, easy-to-manage, and easy-to-adopt global platform. With this announcement, Cato is expanding SASE into threat detection, incident response, and endpoint protection.
