Award-winning SASE provider, Cato Networks joins the AWS ISV accelerate program

Cato Networks, a leading provider of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions, has officially joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program. This move marks a significant milestone in Cato Networks' efforts to expand its reach and provide advanced networking and security solutions to AWS customers worldwide.

What is the AWS ISV Accelerate Program?

The AWS ISV Accelerate Program is a co-sell initiative designed to help businesses offering impactful software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS. By participating in this program, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) gain access to AWS Sales teams, benefit from increased visibility through AWS Account Managers, and receive priority access to AWS co-sell support. The program aims to accelerate sales cycles and drive new business opportunities for participating companies.

Cato Networks’ Role in the Program

Cato Networks is recognized for its comprehensive SASE platform, which integrates networking and security into a single, cloud-native solution. By replacing traditional, costly, and rigid infrastructure with an open and modular SASE architecture, Cato enables organizations to achieve secure and reliable enterprise networking on a global scale.

Recently, Cato was named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Single-Vendor SASE, underscoring its industry leadership and innovation. This recognition likely contributed to AWS’s decision to include Cato in the ISV Accelerate Program, as the platform’s ability to converge security and networking aligns with AWS’s mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions to its customers.

Benefits for AWS Customers

By joining the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, Cato Networks will offer AWS customers enhanced support for their technical and business requirements. With Cato’s cloud-native SASE platform, AWS customers can expect maximum uptime, optimal performance, and the ability to scale globally without the complexities and risks associated with traditional infrastructure.

Alon Alter, Chief Business Officer at Cato Networks, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Cato joining the AWS ISV Accelerate Program is a significant step forward in our relationship with AWS. We look forward to working closely with AWS to transform the IT security market and help AWS customers join the SASE revolution.”
