Question: I need a system that can simplify the complexity, risk, and cost of traditional network security solutions - do you know of any options?

If you want to cut the complexity, risk and expense of traditional network security products, Cato is worth a look. Cato SASE Cloud is a cloud-native, converged service that combines SD-WAN, security, a global backbone and remote access into a single scalable foundation. With a global private backbone, AI/ML threat hunting and a single pane of glass management app, it's designed to simplify operations and improve security for companies in the middle of network modernization.

Another contender is Cloudflare, a single platform that connects, protects and builds on-premises, public clouds, SaaS and the internet. Cloudflare has a range of products to help you get visibility and control back, improve security, speed up performance and cut costs and complexity. Its SASE and SSE services, combined with features like Argo Smart Routing and Load Balancing, make it a good fit for companies that want to improve cyber resilience and accelerate digital transformation.

Fortinet has a broad cybersecurity offering that converges security and networking across all edges, users and devices.

AI-powered security tools help improve threat detection and response, and it's a good option for a variety of use cases, including branch, campus and multicloud environments.

If you prefer an automated approach, Zero Networks has a fully automated platform for microsegmentation and secure remote access. It includes agentless and multi-factor authentication, identity segmentation and secure remote access, which limits network access to sensitive assets and blocks lateral movement and ransomware attacks. It's easy to deploy and manage, making it a good option for companies of all sizes looking to improve network security and compliance.
