Case Study: CESI Group Achieves 30% Cost Reduction and Easier IT Operations with Cato Networks

How CESI Group Improved IT Operations and Cut Costs by 30% with Cato Networks

CESI Group, a Milan-headquartered global engineering and consulting company serving the electric power sector, needed a modern security and networking approach to protect sensitive test data and support its cloud migration. Its legacy mix of MPLS, SD-WAN appliances, VPNs, and firewalls created slow performance, limited visibility, and high maintenance burden for more than 1,100 remote users and 11 locations.

To solve this, CESI Group deployed the Cato Networks SASE Cloud Platform, replacing MPLS, VPNs, firewalls, security appliances, and SD-WAN appliances with Cato Sockets, the Cato Client, vSocket, and IPsec connections. With Cato Networks’ NGFW, IPS, SWG, and MDR capabilities, CESI improved network stability and security, reduced stress and troubleshooting, and achieved a 30% cost reduction with ROI reached in 24 months.
