Case Study: Global Food Supplier achieves secure, high-availability global connectivity with Cato Networks

Global Food Supplier Uses Cato Cloud to Ensure Global Performance, Security and High Availability

Global Food Supplier, a global leader in fish and shrimp nutrition with 31 locations and more than 900 mobile users, needed to replace an aging mix of firewall appliances, Internet-based VPNs, and some MPLS links. The company was struggling with inconsistent performance, limited network visibility, uneven high availability, and the high cost of upgrading legacy security to support features like virus scanning and SSL inspection. Cato Networks was brought in to provide a more agile, secure, and globally consistent alternative.

Using Cato Networks’ Cato Cloud SASE platform and redundant Cato Sockets, Global Food Supplier consolidated WAN, Internet, and security services into a single managed cloud network. Cato enabled the company to eliminate all MPLS circuits, branch firewalls, and VPN connections while improving global performance, especially for cloud apps like Office 365 and M3, and providing centralized security, visibility, and 24x7 support. The case study cites no hard performance metrics, but it highlights lower costs, stronger availability, and much easier support and management.
