Cato Networks
Cato Networks is a Network & Zero Trust company founded in 2015 and based in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is valued at $4.8B.
Founded in 2015 by Shlomo Kramer and Gur Shatz, Cato Networks pioneered the single-vendor SASE (secure access service edge) model, converging SD-WAN, security, and global connectivity into one cloud-native platform delivered from a private backbone of points of presence. Kramer is a serial security entrepreneur who co-founded Check Point and Imperva. Cato's platform unifies SD-WAN, SSE, zero-trust network access, and threat prevention so enterprises can replace a stack of separate networking and security products. The company raised $359 million in 2025 at a valuation above $4.8 billion and has repeatedly been cited as an IPO candidate; it is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Cato is the standard-bearer for the single-vendor SASE thesis, arguing that converging networking and security into one cloud beats stitching together best-of-breed point products.
