The Complete Cato SASE Stack

Six integrated capabilities delivered from the Cato cloud — replacing a patchwork of point products with one converged platform.

Cloud-Native SD-WAN

Cato's SD-WAN provides intelligent, application-aware traffic steering over any WAN transport — broadband, LTE, MPLS. Traffic flows through the nearest Cato PoP on the global private backbone (75+ PoPs) for optimised latency to SaaS, cloud, and data centre applications.

Next-Generation Firewall (FWaaS)

Cloud-delivered NGFW with full Layer 7 deep packet inspection — no throughput limits, no appliance sizing constraints. Application-aware policies, IPS, DNS security, and threat intelligence applied uniformly to all traffic, from all locations.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG)

URL filtering, SSL/TLS inspection, and malware scanning for all web traffic from all users (in-office and remote). Cato SWG enforces acceptable use policies and blocks malicious downloads without hairpinning traffic through a central gateway.

Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)

Visibility and control over sanctioned and unsanctioned SaaS applications (Shadow IT). Data loss prevention for cloud apps, inline API inspection, and CASB policies enforced consistently regardless of user location.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Replace legacy VPN with identity-aware, least-privilege application access. Users authenticate with MFA and receive access only to specific applications — not entire network segments. Continuous verification with device posture checks.

Unified Visibility & Analytics

Single management console for network and security — policy configuration, event monitoring, incident investigation, and performance analytics. No stitching together of separate network and security dashboards.

Why Choose Ogma for Cato SASE?

Cato-certified engineers with hands-on India enterprise deployments — not just resellers.

Cato Certified Partner

Ogma is an authorized Cato Networks partner with certified deployment engineers. We have designed and deployed Cato SASE for multi-branch enterprises in India — replacing legacy MPLS + firewall stacks with a single cloud-native platform.

India-Specific Deployment

We understand India's WAN landscape — MPLS from Tata/Airtel/BSNL, last-mile diversity requirements, and RBI/SEBI compliance for financial sector deployments. Cato has PoPs in Mumbai and Chennai for optimal India latency.

End-to-End Migration

From SD-WAN migration (replacing MPLS), remote access migration (replacing VPN), and security migration (replacing on-premise firewall/proxy) — Ogma handles the full SASE transformation with a phased, zero-downtime approach.

Our SASE Deployment Process

A structured, phased approach — from assessment to full production rollout.

1
SASE Readiness Assessment

Audit current WAN topology, security stack, and user access patterns. Identify which legacy components (MPLS, VPN, proxy, firewall) SASE will replace and in what sequence.

2
Cato Architecture Design

PoP selection, Socket (SD-WAN appliance) sizing for each branch, IPSec tunnel design for data centres, and mobile client deployment plan for remote users.

3
Pilot Deployment

Deploy Cato on 1–2 pilot branches and remote users. Validate application performance, security policy enforcement, and visibility before full rollout.

4
Full Rollout

Branch-by-branch cutover from legacy WAN to Cato SD-WAN. Parallel operation during transition — no service disruption. Remote access migration from VPN to Cato Client.

5
Policy & Security Tuning

NGFW policy migration from legacy firewall, SWG URL policy configuration, CASB shadow IT policy, and ZTNA application access policy setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cato SASE, SD-WAN, ZTNA, and our deployment approach for India.

SD-WAN optimises network connectivity — how traffic is routed across WAN links. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) combines SD-WAN with a full security stack (NGFW, SWG, CASB, ZTNA) delivered from a cloud-native platform. Cato's SASE means you get SD-WAN performance AND enterprise security without buying separate firewall, proxy, and VPN appliances at every branch.

Yes — for branch offices and remote users. Cato's cloud-native NGFW provides full Layer 7 DPI with unlimited throughput, replacing physical firewall appliances at branches. For the data centre perimeter, customers typically keep an on-premise firewall alongside an IPSec tunnel to Cato — but branch firewalls are eliminated entirely.

Remote users install the Cato Client on their laptop or mobile device. All traffic (to internet, SaaS, and corporate applications) is routed through the nearest Cato PoP — enforcing SWG, CASB, and ZTNA policies uniformly. No split-tunnel security gaps, no VPN concurrency limits, and consistent policy regardless of user location.

Traditional VPN grants access to the entire network once authenticated — a major risk if the device is compromised. Cato ZTNA provides access only to specific applications the user is authorized for, based on identity, device posture, and context. Cato ZTNA also performs continuous re-verification — access is revoked automatically if a device fails a posture check mid-session.

Cato has PoPs in Mumbai and Chennai, with additional PoPs in Singapore and the Middle East serving as secondary options for Indian traffic. Indian users typically see single-digit millisecond latency to the nearest PoP — significantly better than backhauling traffic to a central data centre (the legacy hairpin model).

Yes. Cato integrates with Active Directory (on-premise or Azure AD) for identity-based policy. For SIEM integration, Cato exports event logs in CEF format via syslog — compatible with Splunk, IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel, and FortiSIEM. API-based integration is also available.

Cato SASE is licensed per seat (for remote users) and per Mbps (for site connectivity) on a subscription basis — typically 3-year or 1-year terms. There are no per-appliance charges and no throughput-based licensing for cloud security (FWaaS, SWG, CASB). Contact Ogma for an India-specific pricing proposal in INR.
