Cato Networks launched an enterprise browser to broaden its uniform Zero Trust offering, a launch coming hot on the heels of modularizing its flagship platform.
Cato’s new browser provides zero trust controls across internet access, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and private applications, providing uniform enforcement without policy gaps or fragmented security workflows. This is designed to ensure enterprises can manage their entire environment remotely.
The launch of the trusted endpoint coincides with the rise of shadow AI, augmenting traditional security and governance concerns. With businesses keen to keep their data secure and non-ingested to publicly available AI tools, Cato’s offering delivers standardized security and predictable enforcement via continuous, direct-in-browser inspection across every session.
It extends Cato’s AI Security tools directly into the browser, while providing real-time visibility across users, devices, and sessions to create uniform inspection and faster detection of any unscrupulous user actions.
“Security shouldn't come at the cost of simplicity,” Cato Chief Product Officer Ofir Agasi explained. “Organizations need to establish a unified security strategy that scales beyond fully managed employee devices and extends secure access to contractors and BYOD (bring-your-own-device).”
The update is now generally available and part of Cato’s Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA) license.
The launch comes shortly after the vendor carved up its flagship platform to allow enterprises to pick up individual modules. Rather than forcing users to commit to an entire platform, the Tel Aviv-based firm sought to make tool access and pricing easier, allowing customers to pick up a now-browser-infused UZTNA license, SD-WAN, or any combination.
