Forrester Consulting conducted a Total Economic Impact™ study of Cato Networks to assess the impact and return on investment of Cato Networks' SASE cloud.

Cato Networks brings together networking and network security functions and delivers them through its private backbone as a service, securing and optimizing access to enterprise applications regardless of how users work.

These services from Cato Networks replace all traditional WAN and security infrastructure that has become obsolete, helping optimize and secure the full range of an organization’s activities.

Everyone interviewed shared the same initial observation:

• Difficulty managing network security and services, with dedicated teams for each activity
• Managing these systems was time-consuming and costly, as updates had to be handled individually on every active network component

Once the Cato Networks solution is in place, operations teams manage and monitor the entire organization’s network and security through a single interface.

Reducing the teams’ workload allows them to focus on higher-value activities, such as:

• Reduced time to open or relocate sites
• Integrating new acquisitions
• Reducing costs associated with retiring legacy systems

The main financial benefits reported by respondents after adopting the Cato Networks solution are:

1. Reduced maintenance costs
2. Savings from ending contracts for legacy infrastructure: MPLS, on-site firewalls, WAN optimization appliances
3. Reduced deployment costs

The qualitative benefits highlighted are:

• Consistent enforcement of the security policy across the entire organization, down to the user level
• Empowering operational teams by freeing them from low-value maintenance tasks and enabling them to respond more agilely to business needs
