Cato Networks this week introduced the Cato Browser Extension that expands the company’s secure access service edge (SASE) platform and its universal zero-trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities to unmanaged devices and distributed bring-your-own-device (BYOD) endpoints.
The Cato Browser Extension, according to the company, is a lightweight onramp to its SASE platform, which brings zero-trust policies and enforcement to unmanaged and other devices, such as personal, partner, contractor, or other endpoints, without requiring clients to install new software.
“Unmanaged and BYOD devices aren’t going away. They remain the weakest links in enterprise security. Without the safeguards of managed devices, they expose organizations to additional risk,” said Ofir Agasi, chief product officer at Cato Networks, in a statement. “The Cato Browser Extension provides customers with the best of both worlds: simple access for users and complete policy control for IT without adding another tool to manage.”
