Cato Networks has unveiled Cato Autonomous Policies, an AI-driven feature integrated into its SASE Cloud Platform, concentrating initially on Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS). This development aims to revolutionize the management of security, access, and networking policies by leveraging artificial intelligence to automatically detect and resolve common issues like outdated or overlapping firewall rules. With many organizations facing challenges due to overly permissive or misconfigured security policies, Cato’s new solution seeks to mitigate these risks by evaluating existing policies against current network activity and recommending optimizations.
This innovation is designed to reduce operational disruptions and decrease the workload on security personnel. By automating routine tasks traditionally handled by security teams, it not only enhances security but also improves resource efficiency. Additionally, the system aids in compliance efforts by simplifying audit processes and ensuring adherence to the latest regulations. By integrating AI capabilities with Cato’s cloud-based firewall, administrators can efficiently manage security policies for all users and locations worldwide.
The introduction of Cato Autonomous Policies represents a significant advancement in secure and streamlined SASE policy management. It underscores Cato Networks’ dedication to adopting proactive security measures, providing customers with a more robust and automated approach to maintaining network integrity and compliance.
