Case Study: a major North American accounting firm boosts WAN reliability and cuts costs with Cato Networks

a major north american accounting firm cuts WAN costs and deploys Cato in 5-minute installs

A major North American accounting firm faced unreliable MPLS connectivity that frequently disrupted operations, especially during critical tax deadlines. Their security was provided by complex on-premises appliances, and the move of key applications to the cloud made their expensive MPLS WAN even more obsolete. They sought a simple, secure SD-WAN alternative with robust quality of service (QoS) to replace their infrastructure.

The firm implemented the Cato SASE platform, deploying Cato Sockets to easily connect their offices to Cato's global cloud-native network. This provided a reliable, secure SD-WAN with built-in security services, eliminating the need for MPLS and on-premises security appliances. The results included dramatically improved network reliability, significant cost savings on hardware and licenses, and an incredibly simple deployment process that allowed for quick rollout across all locations.
