Issues before implementation

  • Traffic surges as business systems shift to the cloud, straining network bandwidth
  • The existing network environment is aging and complex, and malfunctions often occur.
  • Traditional perimeter-based security measures have difficulty responding to the increasing use of SaaS and remote work

The effects of implementing Cato SASE Cloud

  • With approximately 10,000 users, bottlenecks are easier to identify, leading to faster response times. Incident response time has been drastically reduced from "half a day to a full day" to "1 to 2 hours."
  • The number of problems has decreased significantly, and user complaints have been almost completely resolved.
  • Log tracking can be easily and reliably performed.
  • We offer the option to choose the most suitable network connection, such as mobile or satellite, depending on local conditions. Network construction, which previously took several months, can now be completed in as little as one week, allowing us to provide a network environment equivalent to our own in-house network in a short period of time.
  • This reduces the operational burden, allowing freed-up resources to be allocated to DX investments, visualizes communication status due to increased SaaS usage, and makes it easier to identify on-site issues.
  • The network has become more robust as the foundation supporting DX.
