Cato Networks, the leader in SASE, has announced the addition of network incident detection and response tools to the Cato SASE Cloud platform.
With Network Stories for Cato XDR, advanced AI algorithms instantly identify outages in customer networks and conduct root cause analysis. NOC and SOC teams now have a common platform for improved collaboration and channel partners can quickly bring NOC-as-a-service (NOCaaS) offerings to market. AI algorithms trained for threat detection now collect and analyze network signals and incidents to identify the root cause behind blackouts, downed links, BGP session disconnects, SLA issues, and other network incidents. Cato AI triages those incidents by criticality, empowering network operations teams to focus critical resources on an organization's most important cases.
Once NOC teams act, Cato provides them with a complete set of incident response tools. Generative AI summarizes Network Stories into human-readable explanations. Cato Playbooks enable NOC teams to understand what happened and how to remediate those incidents.
Shlomo Kramer, CEO and Co-Founder, Cato Networks
With our converged security and networking platform, we leverage advances in one domain, in this case security, to help another domain -- networking. Our security-trained AI has now been expanded to help NOC teams become smarter, faster, and more proactive than ever. This is the value of a true SASE platform.
Brandon Benchley, Senior Network Engineer, ESI
We're very excited about what we're seeing in Cato's Network Stories. It'll save us the time normally spent hunting around other tools and that's a big deal. The company's three-person network team is responsible for all site designs, deployments, switches, and upgrades.
John Burke, CTO, Nemertes
In an environment where any part of the network might be a key component of the security infrastructure, and any anomalous event could require a comprehensive network AND security response, the convergence of the NOC and the SOC makes more sense than ever.
