Cato Secure Access

Cato Secure Access is a comprehensive remote access and Zero Trust Network Access capability delivered as part of the Cato SASE Cloud platform, engineered to connect remote employees, branch offices, and third-party partners safely to enterprise applications and internet resources. By decoupling access permissions from physical network location, it enforces adaptive, identity-driven security policies that protect corporate assets across hybrid multi-cloud environments.

The solution connects users via lightweight Cato Client software or clientless browser-based access, directing encrypted traffic to the closest Cato Point of Presence across a global network of over 85 locations. It integrates smoothly with leading enterprise identity providers like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Ping Identity, as well as endpoint security tools to verify device health and user context continuously. Common implementation use cases include securing remote workforces, providing just-in-time access for contractors, retiring complex on-premises VPN hardware, and enforcing zero-trust microsegmentation across distributed corporate resources.

By leveraging Cato's global private network backbone, Cato Secure Access provides remote users with enterprise-grade application performance and consistent security inspection regardless of geographic location. Security administrators manage access policies, monitor active user sessions, and investigate anomalous behavior through the unified Cato Management Application. The platform accelerates cloud transition, reduces network operational costs, and delivers dependable cyber defense across modern distributed enterprises.
