Cato CASB

Cato CASB is a cloud access security broker delivered natively as a core service of the Cato SASE Cloud platform, engineered to provide comprehensive visibility, governance, and threat protection across enterprise SaaS applications. Operating inline across the Cato global private backbone and out-of-band via cloud APIs, it enforces context-aware security policies to prevent unauthorized data sharing, shadow IT usage, and account compromise across software-as-a-service ecosystems.

The service protects distributed workforces interacting with major cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, and AWS, operating seamlessly without requiring separate proxy appliances or complex PAC files. It integrates directly with Cato Next-Generation Firewall, Cato DLP, and enterprise identity providers to deliver unified user access controls and deep application inspection. Common operational use cases include discovering unsanctioned shadow IT applications, restricting file uploads based on classification labels, enforcing read-only access for personal cloud accounts, and detecting anomalous user behavior across cloud applications.

By integrating CASB capabilities directly into the network architecture, Cato CASB eliminates latency and operational complexity typical of standalone proxy services. Security administrators manage SaaS security policies, inspect encrypted traffic, and review risk analytics through a unified Cato Management Application console. The platform ensures strict compliance with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, protects sensitive enterprise data in the cloud, and accelerates secure SaaS adoption.
