Simplifying Network Security and Connectivity with a Unified SASE Solution

IT environments have changed dramatically. Applications have moved to the cloud, workforces are spread across cities and time zones, and data now lives everywhere. Yet many organizations still rely on older network designs—think hub-and-spoke VPN architectures and separate security appliances—to hold everything together. The result is often the same: too many moving parts, not enough visibility, and a growing strain on IT teams trying to keep systems secure and running smoothly.

It is time for a better way to connect and protect your business.

The Challenge: Too Many Tools, Not Enough Control

Traditional networking and security models were not built for how business operates today. Remote users, cloud applications, and hybrid environments all introduce new layers of complexity that legacy architectures cannot handle efficiently.

When every function such as firewalls, VPNs, web filters, and access controls runs on its own platform, things can get complicated fast. Visibility drops. Troubleshooting takes longer. Security risks increase. And IT ends up managing a growing list of point solutions instead of focusing on strategy and innovation.

The Solution: Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, changes the game. It brings networking functions (like SD-WAN and cloud connectivity) and security services (like firewall-as-a-service, secure web gateway, and zero trust network access) together into one cloud-delivered platform, designed for the way modern organizations work. Instead of juggling multiple vendors and disconnected systems, you get a single, integrated solution that delivers secure, consistent access for every user and device, no matter where they are.

With a SASE solution in place, IT teams gain:

• Stronger security built into every connection
• Centralized visibility and control across all users and applications
• Improved performance by routing traffic directly to cloud applications instead of backhauling through a data center
• Simplified management that frees up time and resources

Proof in Action: M3 Insurance

When M3 Insurance, one of the top private and independent insurance brokers in the United States, began migrating to the cloud, its traditional hub-and-spoke network quickly became a bottleneck. Productivity dropped, management grew complicated, and security needed a modern boost.

M3 turned to US Signal to help modernize its infrastructure. With a SASE solution powered by Cato Networks, M3 simplified its architecture, improved performance, and strengthened its overall security posture. The IT team gained better visibility, reduced management time, and created a stronger, more agile foundation for the future.
