Cato Networks has partnered with CrowdStrike to combine network and endpoint telemetry across their respective platforms, aiming to simplify investigations and improve detection accuracy for security teams.
The collaboration links the Cato SASE Platform with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, giving organisations a unified operational view that removes the gaps typically created by siloed tools. According to the companies, the integration is designed to help teams investigate threats more efficiently, strengthen asset intelligence and accelerate response workflows.
The joint effort supports several security operations use cases. Cato XOps and CrowdStrike Falcon Discover now correlate endpoint detections with network telemetry to improve visibility during investigations. Cato Asset Security and Falcon Discover combine device and endpoint context to enhance asset posture. In addition, network telemetry from the Cato SASE Platform feeds into Falcon Next‑Gen SIEM, broadening the signal set available for threat hunting and detection engineering.
Karl Soderlund, global channel chief at Cato Networks, said the partnership is intended to help teams cope with increasingly complex, AI‑driven threats. “Security outcomes, especially in the AI era, can only improve when fueled by rich and connected data. This partnership further enhances Cato’s ability to deliver complete visibility, full context and agentic control to make security operations teams more effective in defending against the next wave of AI threats.”
Chris Stewart, vice president, Global Cloud and Technology Alliance Partners at CrowdStrike, said customers are looking for tighter integration across their security stack. “Organizations need security technologies that work together seamlessly to keep pace with modern threats. By integrating the CrowdStrike Falcon platform with the Cato SASE Platform, customers can correlate network and endpoint telemetry, streamline investigations and respond to threats faster.”
TD Synnex also welcomed the move. Francisco Criado, senior vice president, Security, Cloud and AI, said the partnership supports partners delivering more cohesive protection. “The collaboration between Cato Networks and CrowdStrike provides streamlined operations and more cohesive AI‑driven threat detection and response across the enterprise. For our partners, this means a more integrated approach to security that simplifies deployment and scalability, helping them deliver strong customer outcomes while growing their business.”
