Case Study: Darling Ingredients saves $750K+ annually with Cato Networks

Darling Ingredients Consolidates Vendors, Increases Agility, and Saves $750K+ Annually with Cato

Darling Ingredients, a global sustainability-focused company with more than 260 facilities and 16,000 employees, was struggling with the complexity of managing multiple networking and security vendors. Its patchwork of SD-WAN, firewalls, URL filtering, and VPN tools created fragmented visibility, inconsistent enforcement, and slow troubleshooting across a rapidly growing global footprint.

To simplify operations, Darling Ingredients implemented the Cato SASE Platform from Cato Networks. The unified platform consolidated networking and security into one console and one policy set, helping the company save more than $750K annually, reduce network team FTEs by 23.5%, and cut threat evaluation and neutralization time by 66%. It also reduced priority-one incident response resources by up to 83% and improved agility for rapid site rollout and M&A integration.
