From Chaos to Control
Welcome to May’s SASE Insider. Ever look at your IT infrastructure and wonder how it got so complex? It happened gradually—new needs forced more tools, more rules, and more workarounds. This month, we’re looking at how to turn chaos into control—without adding more complexity, and without following the security market’s playbook: here’s another point product. Let’s get into it.
You need smarter policies. Not more of them.
Firewall policy management is central to risk, compliance, and zero trust. But doing it manually? It’s a grind—rule sprawl, misconfigurations, audit stress… a total time suck.
Cato Autonomous Policies changes all that. It’s the first SASE-based capability that uses AI to continuously monitor and analyze your policies—detecting anomalies and misconfigs, removing redundancies, strengthening zero trust, and keeping you compliant.
No extra tools or consoles—and no guesswork. Just smarter policy management, natively built into Cato SASE Cloud Platform.
TL;DR
- Swissport was done juggling tools, rules, gaps, and manual work. When you’re handling ground services for nearly 250 million airline passengers, your networking and security needs to be fast and easy to manage at scale. Swissport replaced VPN sprawl and fragmented security with Cato SASE Cloud Platform. “Now we operate under one set of security policies globally, and I can sleep at night knowing the environment is secure,” says CTO Richard Thorp.

- We built our SASE platform to break legacy rules. Now we’ve done the same with our Partner Program. We’ve designed our new Channel First Partner Program around what our Partners actually need—more flexibility, less friction, and real support for selling SASE. It’s designed for their business, not ours. Check out the story on CRN.
