“Every major capability can be adopted independently, with simple and transparent pricing that addresses real-world usage, while remaining part of a single unified system,” wrote Nimmy Reichenberg, senior vice president of product marketing at Cato, in a blog about the news. “But modular does not mean disconnected. No matter where you start, you immediately tap into the full power of the Cato SASE Platform.”
Cato is positioning the move as part of what it calls the “platform economy,” arguing that vendors bundling separately acquired products under a single brand push operational complexity and costs onto customers.
“The Platform Economy reflects a fundamental shift in cybersecurity. Architecture is no longer just a technical decision; it determines the economic efficiency of risk,” said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO of Cato Networks, in a statement. “In the AI era, only unified systems can deliver the speed, resilience, and financial advantage organizations require.”
