Cato Client

Cato Client is a lightweight, cross-platform software application designed to connect remote and mobile workers securely to the Cato SASE Cloud global network. Operating as an endpoint access broker for Zero Trust Network Access and Secure Access Service Edge, it routes user traffic directly to the nearest Cato Point of Presence over encrypted TLS tunnels, ensuring optimized application performance and enterprise-grade security enforcement regardless of user location.

The client software runs smoothly across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS operating systems, providing single-sign-on integration with identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Ping Identity. It integrates natively with endpoint posture assessment tools, checking device health, disk encryption, and firewall status before granting network or application access. Primary implementation use cases include replacing legacy corporate VPN clients, securing remote employees and third-party consultants, enforcing uniform internet security policies on mobile laptops, and accelerating SaaS application access for global users.

By steering traffic into Cato's global private backbone of over 85 Points of Presence, Cato Client delivers predictable network performance and avoids unpredictable public internet routing delays. End users experience seamless, always-on connectivity without manual connection toggling, while security teams maintain granular visibility and consistent security policy enforcement across all remote sessions. The solution simplifies remote worker management, strengthens endpoint security postures, and supports modern hybrid workplace initiatives.
