Cato Networks introduced Cato Autonomous Policies, an AI capability within its SASE Cloud platform for transforming IT operations. Autonomous Policies offers a SASE-native policy analysis engine for optimizing and improving all SASE policies, including security, access and networking.
Enterprises gain targeted, AI-driven recommendations for eliminating unnecessary security exposure, tightening access control and improving network performance. It also serves to reduce risk, eliminate manual upkeep and streamline compliance, paving the way for proactive governance and autonomous SASE.
The first use case for Cato Autonomous Policies is firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), in which Cato tackles firewall rule bloat. Cato FWaaS streamlines access control with a single policy set for all users, devices, locations and cloud resources.
With Cato Autonomous Policies for FWaaS, Cato can promise:
- Eliminating policy drift and misconfigurations.
- Providing real-time zero-trust enforcement.
- Ensuring stronger security posture.
- Empowering CISOs to transform security operations.
“For years, IT leaders have chased the dream of autonomous networking and security—only to hit a wall of complexity,” said Ofir Agasi, VP of product management, Cato Networks. “With Cato Autonomous Policies, we finally cross that threshold. Cato automatically transforms complex networking and security policy sets into optimized rules—empowering IT to lead, not lag.”
Cato Autonomous Policies is now generally available and included as a native capability of the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, with no setup or additional cost.
