Cato Cloud Firewall

Cato Cloud Firewall is a cloud-delivered next-generation firewall built directly into the Cato SASE Cloud global private backbone, engineered to inspect, control, and protect all enterprise traffic traversing the network. By operating in the cloud, it eliminates the necessity for hardware firewall appliances at corporate headquarters and remote branch offices, providing elastic scalability, deep packet inspection, and unified security policies worldwide.

The service inspects all traffic flows—including wide area network traffic between sites, internet-bound web traffic, cloud workload communication, and remote worker connections—operating seamlessly across corporate branches, cloud data centers, and mobile devices. It integrates natively with enterprise identity providers to enforce user- and group-aware access policies, as well as Cato IPS, anti-malware, and CASB capabilities for full-spectrum threat prevention. Common deployment use cases include replacing branch office firewalls, enforcing centralized internet egress policies, segmenting internal WAN traffic, and blocking malicious network connections across all ports and protocols.

Through its high-throughput global private backbone, Cato Cloud Firewall delivers enterprise-scale throughput and advanced security inspection without the capacity limitations of physical appliances. Security administrators configure consistent global firewall rules in minutes using an intuitive web management console, receiving immediate visibility into traffic patterns and blocked threats. The platform lowers capital expenses, streamlines firewall governance, and provides resilient network defense for modern enterprises.
