Cato Networks has introduced the Cato MSASE Partner Platform, a new way for channel partners to rapidly deliver and profit from managed SASE services.
With Cato MSASE, partners gain vendor-level insight, control and knowledge – enabling them to deliver highly differentiated managed SASE services efficiently.
“The Cato SASE Cloud transformed how enterprises consume networking and security services; now, with the Cato MSASE Partner Platform, we’re transforming how the channel can deliver those services,” said Frank Rauch, Global Channel Chief at Cato Networks.
“Channel partners now have vendor-level powers over licensing, account management, visibility and more, which will empower them to be more efficient and profitable. With Cato, the channel delivers a superior SASE experience for their customers.”
According to Gartner, managed SASE service adoption will rise significantly across enterprises over the next two years: “By 2026, at least 45% of enterprises will use managed SASE services – an increase of three times from early 2023.”
However, channel partners encounter challenges when attempting to profit from managed SASE services. Most offerings labeled ‘SASE’ consist of multiple point products marketed as a single solution. This requires partners to stock, integrate and train on diverse technologies at significant cost when it’s not on a single platform. When issues arise, partners often lack the visibility and knowledge to troubleshoot the problems themselves.
