Cato Networks, the pioneer of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), announced it has once again been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for SASE Platforms. This marks the company’s second consecutive year in the Leader position, reinforcing its role as a category creator and innovation driver in the SASE market.
Built for Purpose: The True SASE Platform
“Being named a Leader again is a strong validation of our ability to deliver a true SASE platform to enterprises,” said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO at Cato Networks. “Cato’s recognition reflects our role in shaping and advancing the SASE market globally.”
Ofir Agasi, chief product officer, added: “Our research and innovation in AI elevate our SASE platform, enabling IT and security teams to move beyond automation and align directly with strategic business outcomes.”
Why Cato Stands Out
Cato is the first vendor to purpose-build a SASE platform from the ground up, avoiding reliance on mergers, acquisitions, or bolt-on integrations. Its Cato SASE Cloud Platform provides:
- Converged networking with SD-WAN and a global private backbone
- Comprehensive security with NGFW and SSE capabilities
- AI-driven intelligence integrated into all layers
- A unified console and centralized data lake for management and visibility
This cloud-native architecture delivers enterprise-grade performance, protection, scalability, and simplicity, empowering IT teams without sacrificing agility or resiliency.
Customer Validation
Cato is the most-reviewed vendor on Gartner Peer Insights™, holding a 4.7 out of 5 rating across 275+ reviews as of July 2025. Customers highlight the ease of deployment, unified platform design, and reduction in IT workload.
“Great product, simple design. We rolled out 52 sites in 18 months without customer downtime.” — Director of IT Infrastructure, Manufacturing Industry

Industry Impact
Cato’s unified, AI-enhanced SASE platform is helping enterprises worldwide simplify operations, improve resilience, and enable IT teams to focus on driving business value instead of managing fragmented systems. This recognition by Gartner underscores Cato’s market leadership and long-term vision.
