Question: Can you recommend a platform that provides a single way to connect, protect, and build across multiple environments, including on-premises, public clouds, SaaS, and the internet?

If you need a platform that spans connections, security and development across multiple environments -- on-premises, public clouds, SaaS and the internet -- Cloudflare is a good choice. It's got a range of products to help you reclaim visibility and control, improve security and reliability, speed up apps and networks and cut costs and complexity. Among Cloudflare's services are SASE and SSE services, app and infrastructure services, and developer services that offer secure, reliable and fast digital products and services.

Another contender is Cato, a cloud-native SASE Cloud that combines SD-WAN, security, global backbone and remote access into a single, scalable service. With a converged software stack and global cloud distribution, Cato offers lower complexity, risk and cost. It also has automated AI/ML models for threat hunting and incident detection, making it a good choice for companies in the middle of network and security modernization.

If you want a broad cybersecurity foundation, you should look at Fortinet. Fortinet's platform converges security and networking across all edges, users and devices. That includes options like secure networking, zero-trust network access and cloud-delivered security service edge. The single operating system, FortiOS, means single-source management and control, and the product is used in a variety of settings from branch offices to data centers.
