Case Study: Elkjøp improves agility and security with Cato Networks

How Elkjøp Improved Agility, Increased Security, and Thrived During Black Friday with the Cato SASE Cloud Platform

Elkjøp, the largest electronics retailer in the Nordics, needed a more agile and secure network to support its cloud-based POS system, 420+ stores, and 10,000 employees. Its legacy MPLS and security stack was complex, slow to change, and difficult to scale, with even simple network updates taking up to six weeks. To modernize its infrastructure, Elkjøp turned to Cato Networks and the Cato SASE Cloud Platform.

Cato Networks implemented a single-vendor SASE solution with secure SD-WAN, centralized security, and zero-touch deployment across Elkjøp’s stores. The result was dramatic: network changes that once took six weeks now take seconds, the full network was migrated within a few months, and peak-season resilience improved during Black Friday with automated failover and less manual readiness work. Elkjøp also reported stronger security, smoother remote access, and a simpler, more efficient IT operation.
