Overview
Cato Networks was founded in 2015 by Shlomo Kramer and Gur Shatz to build a converged networking and security platform delivered from the cloud, an approach later categorized by the industry as Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with additional offices in the United States and Europe.
The Cato SASE Cloud Platform combines SD-WAN, firewall-as-a-service, secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, and zero trust network access into a single-vendor architecture, positioned as an alternative to stitching together separate networking and security point products.
As of its most recent funding disclosures, Cato reported more than 3,500 enterprise customers and annual recurring revenue exceeding $350 million entering 2026. The company remains privately held and has repeatedly delayed a previously discussed initial public offering in favor of additional private financing.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
