Cato Dropped HOW Many New Features?! Let Us Keep Track For You.

Remember when software updates were like rare cosmic events—maybe quarterly, maybe tied to a product roadmap reveal, complete with slide decks and celebratory webinars? Yeah, Cato Networks doesn’t do that. They’ve fully embraced the “move fast and ship everything” approach, turning their SASE Cloud Platform into a non-stop innovation machine. In 2024 alone, they hit 46% ARR growth and crossed $250 million—and they’re celebrating by firing off new features like confetti at a startup launch party.

Since late 2024, the feature list reads like a greatest-hits album: Custom Risk Scores so you can fine-tune app risk to your specific business, one-click troubleshooting from the Endpoint Protection agent, a sleek Captive Portal for guest networks, and now API-based App Activity Monitoring that even covers Microsoft 365 Copilot and Entra ID—whether users are on the Cato network or not. Oh, and did we mention the natural language search for the Audit Trail? Sometimes, you just want to type “Who disabled MFA last Thursday?” and actually get an answer. And that’s not even touching the weekly cadence of IPS updates, XDR tuning, and new app catalog entries that keep piling on.

Here’s the catch: all of this is awesome—if you can keep up. But who has time to dig through every product update, evaluate the risk impact of new features, test changes, adjust policies, and train the team? Your actual job didn’t stop just because Cato hit “deploy.” It’s all too easy to get overwhelmed or to miss something important—either a security enhancement or a usability upgrade your team would’ve loved.

That’s precisely where Intelligent Visibility comes in. Our Cato managed services team lives and breathes these updates so you don’t have to. We track every feature drop, flag what’s relevant for your environment, configure it securely, and optimize your policies as the platform evolves. Think of us as your personal SASE translators—cutting through the noise, surfacing what matters, and implementing changes without disrupting your day-to-day. You stay ahead of the curve without drowning in it.

Bottom line: Cato Networks is moving fast—and that’s good. But if keeping up feels like a full-time job, it’s time to bring in a partner who is already doing it. Intelligent Visibility ensures you don’t just have SASE—you get the most out of it every week, every release.
