GCX and Cato Networks forge collaboration for cutting-edge managed SASE service

GCX Managed Services, a leader in delivering innovative networking solutions, has embarked on an exciting collaboration with Cato Networks, recognised for their pioneering SASE solutions. This partnership aims to deliver a state-of-the-art managed Secure Access Service Edge (MSASE) service, fortified by the Cato SASE Cloud Platform.

The collaboration promises to introduce a fully integrated SASE platform from Cato, streamlining networking and security operations for businesses across the globe. With the adoption of secure AI and an emphasis on improving operational efficiency, the joint MSASE offering ensures that a wide array of industries, including global manufacturing, leisure, hospitality, and professional services, benefit from optimised connectivity and robust security.

GCX's strategic move with Cato represents a pivotal expansion in their capabilities. By leveraging Cato's SASE architecture, GCX replaces numerous point solutions—such as standalone firewalls and SD-WAN devices—with a single, cloud-native platform. This allows enterprises to manage their networking and security policies from a centralised console, significantly reducing complexity and operational overhead.

Strategically combining their global backbone infrastructure, GCX and Cato are all set to deliver unparalleled resilience and efficiency across international borders. This collaboration effectively addresses the often convoluted and disjointed networks that hinder seamless connectivity and security.

The partnership also points towards a shared vision between the two companies, focusing on ‘a customer-first approach’ as emphasised by GCX’s CEO, Lorenzo Romano. With Mark Draper of Cato Networks highlighting the potential for enterprises to simplify operations and embrace AI safely, it is clear this alliance is poised to redefine managed SASE offerings on a global scale.
