Case Study: Lion Corporation achieves fast, secure global connectivity with Cato Networks

Lion Adopts Cato to Achieve Fast, Secure Connectivity for Global Locations and Remote Users

Lion Corporation, Japan’s top beauty care manufacturer, needed a better way to support growing network demand, more remote workers, and secure connectivity across 23 Japanese offices and 11 global locations. Its legacy VPN-based setup and separate security appliances could not easily handle the shift to widespread remote access during the pandemic, and the company wanted a low-disruption transition with unified networking and security.

Cato Networks implemented Cato SASE to consolidate WAN, internet connectivity, and security into a single cloud-native platform. Lion deployed Cato to 29 locations and 5,000 remote workers in a matter of weeks, gaining centralized management, stronger security with anti-malware, IPS, and MDR, and improved performance through Cato’s global backbone. Lion said the transition was very smooth and planned to run its entire WAN and internet connectivity on Cato.
