Secure networking with Cato Networks
One network, secured.
For years we’ve designed, built and run our customers’ networks. Now we’re securing everything beyond them, with Cato Networks.
The online session: “One network, secured”, an hour with Simon Hayward and Pete Fraser on what Cato means for your network, how it works alongside what you already have, and plenty of time for your questions. Tuesday 10 November · 10:30–11:30 AEDT · Microsoft Teams
What’s new
Your sites, firewall, remote access and cloud, in one platform.
Cato brings the links between your sites, your firewall, remote access, and control of the cloud and AI tools your team uses into one cloud platform.
Affinity Blue designs it, deploys it and runs it, the way we run your network today.
Why now
Refresh cycles
Firewalls and VPNs are always coming up for refresh, each on its own cycle. Cato replaces the boxes rather than buying them again.
People everywhere
Staff, apps and data are spread across homes, the cloud and new sites. Cato applies the same security wherever they work, without a VPN.
Harder questions
Insurers, boards and major customers want to know who has access, and which AI tools are in use. Cato shows you, and lets you control it.
What you get
- One cloud platform instead of a stack of boxes
- Secure links between your sites, and safe remote access without a VPN
- The same firewall, web security and data protection everywhere
- Control over AI: which tools your team uses, and what data goes into them
- Fewer appliances to buy, refresh and support
- One team, one console and one monthly bill
Why Affinity Blue
We already know your network
This is a conversation with the people who built it.
