Case Study: Forvis Mazars transforms its network and boosts security with Cato Networks

Forvis Mazars Transforms Network with Cato and Accelerates Customer Innovation

Forvis Mazars, a global professional services network, needed to replace a complex traditional network built on multiple vendors, MPLS connections, firewalls, and data centers. Managing different technologies and policies made global connectivity and security difficult, time-consuming, and prone to errors, especially as cloud use, remote work, and connected devices increased security demands. Cato Networks and partner IPknowledge were brought in to help modernize the network.

Cato Networks implemented a Secure Network as a Service solution based on the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, using a test environment and parallel connection before rollout. The result was a simpler, easier-to-manage network that was more reliable and secure, while reducing the complexity of setting up connections like MPLS. Forvis Mazars said the new setup enabled secure plug-and-play networking and allowed its IT team to focus more on digital innovation and client services, with 24/7 monitoring and support from IPknowledge.
