Cato Networks pioneered the SASE category — a cloud-native convergence of SD-WAN, secure web gateway, ZTNA, and firewall-as-a-service delivered as a single global backbone. Founded by Shlomo Kramer (also co-founder of Check Point and Imperva), the company hit $250M ARR by end-2024 and raised a $359M Series G in June 2025 at a $4.8B valuation. One-third of the round was earmarked for employee tender. An IPO remains on the table but is not imminent.
