Following the emergence of NatJack attacks—a technique that hijacks TCP sessions and spoofs DNS responses by manipulating NAT tables—Cato Networks introduced new AI-driven security measures.

Initial responses focused on the Agentic Threat Prevention platform, which uses autonomous agents to analyze network telemetry and adjust defenses. The company expanded these capabilities with the introduction of Agentic CVE Mitigation, a tool designed to reduce the time between vulnerability disclosure and protection deployment to approximately 45 minutes. This system automates the analysis of new vulnerabilities to prepare countermeasures. 

Furthermore, Cato Networks launched Cato AI Security to monitor data interactions with AI agents, ensuring that organizational policies are enforced during these exchanges.
