Case Study: James Walker achieves streamlined global networking and security with Cato Networks

James Walker Gains a Streamlined Network and Security Platform for Digital Transformation, Thanks to Cato

James Walker, a global manufacturing enterprise, was struggling with a complex MPLS and IPsec network spread across 30 sites in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Its setup was difficult to troubleshoot, expensive to maintain, and poorly suited to cloud adoption and digital transformation, especially as backhauling traffic through a UK firewall hurt performance for users accessing cloud services.

James Walker chose Cato Networks’ SASE platform, including Cato SASE Cloud, Cato Edge SD-WAN, and Cato SSE 360, to unify networking and security in a single cloud-managed service. Deployment to all 30 locations was quick, firewall rules were reduced from about 500 to under 100, and the company gained centralized security, better visibility, improved global performance, and stronger protection, including blocking over 1,500 Log4j-related scan attempts in one weekend.
