As more smart devices flood enterprise networks, keeping everything secure gets trickier. By 2025, Gartner estimates that smart devices will outnumber traditional devices like laptops and desktops in more than 85% of enterprise networks. This explosion of IoT (Internet of Things) and OT (Operational Technology) devices brings major challenges in ensuring they are protected. To tackle this, Access Tech partners with Cato Networks who has introduced new features to its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform. This is designed to secure and simplify IoT and OT environments.

At Access Tech, we’ve seen firsthand how outdated networks leave businesses vulnerable. Security is our top priority. Cato SASE, the solution we recommend to our customers, is a game-changer.

What Makes Cato SASE Special?

• Cato SASE combines powerful tools into a single, cloud-based service. Here’s what it offers:
• Better Security: It brings together firewalls, data protection, secure web gateways, and zero-trust access, all in one place.
• Streamlined Network Management: Instead of juggling multiple systems, SASE simplifies everything with a unified approach.
• Work From Anywhere Made Easy: Employees can securely access what they need, whether they’re at home, in the office, or on the road.

How We Use Cato SASE at Access Tech

Recently, one of our clients was struggling with slow networks and security issues. We stepped in with Cato to completely change how they handle VPN access. We got rid of 1,400 firewall rules and separated their data into two streams—North/South and East/West. This made it so only their IT team could access certain servers and data. Thanks to Cato, their network is now faster, safer, and easier to manage.

Why This Matters

For us, Cato SASE is more than just another tool—it’s a way to future-proof our clients’ networks. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with slow, unsecured systems.
