Expereo, the world leader in managed Network as a Service, and Cato Networks, the SASE leader, announced their strategic collaboration at TechEx in London focusing on the concept of delivering a unified and single-source solution designed for the global enterprise community.
By uniting the strengths of Expereo’s global underlay connectivity expertise with Cato Networks’ cloud-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) technology, the partnership essentially combines the strengths of two industry leaders in the underlay and overlay spaces, creating a comprehensive, integrated end-to-end solution for the modern enterprise network.
This collaboration establishes a one-stop solution for medium to large multinational organizations seeking a way to modernize legacy infrastructure towards a secure, cloud-first network model. It reduces complexity through procurement, deployment, and ongoing operations with one global partnership.
Bringing together Cato Networks’ industry-leading SASE platform with best-in-class underlay from Expereo creates a unique proposition to solve network challenges for medium to large multinational enterprises, wherever they are in the world – all through one partnership.

Together, Expereo and Cato will offer a converged, cloud-native networking and security platform that is intended to help overcome the complexities of fragmented and multi-vendor environments and accelerate the adoption of SASE and secure internet-based connected solutions. Among the key benefits achievable with the joint offering are:
A unique global footprint, integrating Cato’s global backbone with over 85 points of presence, along with its partner ecosystem in over 190 countries, to enable secure connectivity between enterprise locations worldwide.
A roadmap to a digital-first operational experience, provided through Expereo’s expereoOne platform, assures enterprises a central control position with regard to real-time visibility and validation for underlay and overlay network performance, security, and cloud environments.
Direct on-ramps to Expereo’s global underlay and Cato’s private backbone deliver lower latency, increased reliability, and a consistent high-performance experience for cloud applications and users.
Jointly addressing an addressable market of $105B in the secure access service edge and global enterprise connectivity markets, the collaboration establishes a strategic relationship between Expereo and Cato Networks designed to assist enterprise customers in emerging from the legacy environment of MPLS into the scalable and secure world of cloud-native networking.
