Cato Networks
Tel Aviv, Israel
Top Executive: Shlomo Kramer
Founded: 2015
Cato has developed a Network Security as a Service platform that the company said is changing the way network security is delivered and managed for distributed, cloud-centric and mobile-first enterprises. The company's Cato Cloud platform uses the cloud to consolidate WAN and internet traffic and layer enterprise-grade security solutions -- such as a next-generation firewall -- on top.
The Tel Aviv-based startup was founded last year by Shlomo Kramer, a respected security investor who also co-founded big-name security vendors Check Point Software Technologies and Imperva, and Gur Shatz. It landed $20 million in Series A funding in October before officially launching this year with a 100 percent channel strategy.
