Cato Networks expands SASE offerings via iOCO partnership and new SMB licensing model

Cato Networks is expanding its reach in the managed security services market through new collaborations and licensing models. In South Africa, iOCO has added the Cato SASE platform to its managed cybersecurity portfolio. This partnership aims to support enterprises facing rising cyber risks and complex hybrid cloud environments by providing advisory, architecture, and integration services.

Additionally, Cato Networks has launched SMB FlexPool, a program designed to assist Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in delivering Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) services to small and midsize businesses. The initiative utilizes a pooled licensing model, allowing MSPs to allocate capacity across multiple customers through a self-service workflow. This is intended to reduce the operational overhead and friction typically associated with individual licensing transactions during customer deployments.
