Unified Networking through Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-based network architecture that merges SD-WAN and advanced security services into a single, global cloud platform. Enabling seamless and secure access across any enterprise resource—whether on-site, in the cloud, or mobile—SASE simplifies network connectivity and security into a unified service. Through a strategic partnership with Cato Network, TDM Group delivers a SASE solution, offering an optimised and secure network experience for all users, regardless of location. This unified approach ensures businesses are prepared for the evolving digital landscape, replacing outdated systems with a flexible, secure, and efficient network ready for the future.

Secure Access Service Edge SASE incorporates different technologies that embed security functions:

Cloud web security gateway
Firewall as a service
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) / Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
Sandboxing
Anti-malware
Cloud access security broker (CASB)

Into the global network fabric:

VPNs
SD-WAN
Zero-trust network access
Remote access
Quality of service (QOS)
Cloud access security broker (CASB)

Which ensures Secure Access Service Edge SASE is always available no matter where the user is, where the application or resource being accessed is, or what type of network technologies connects the user and the resource.

TDM Group partners with Cato Network to deliver a true converged SASE service.

Cato is the world’s first Secure Access Service Edge SASE platform, converging SD-WAN and network security into a global Cloud service.

Provide direct, secure internet access to all branch locations and mobile users with Cato’s built-in security as a service and without deploying security point solutions.
Easily migrate from MPLS to SD-WAN with Cato’s end-to-end network optimisation.
Optimise and secure Cloud access with Cato’s agentless Cloud integration and the Cato global private backbone for any user, from anywhere and without using premium Cloud connectivity solutions like AWS Direct Connect and Microsoft ExpressRoute.

Cato Cloud: The world’s first SASE platform, converging SD-WAN and network security in the Cloud

Cato Cloud connects all enterprise network resources – including branch locations, the mobile workforce, and physical and Cloud datacentres – into a global and secure, Cloud-native network service. With all WAN and internet traffic consolidated in the Cloud, Cato applies a suite of security services to protect all traffic at all times.

Cato Cloud is comprised of the following pillars: a global private backbone to provide predictable connectivity everywhere; edge SD-WAN to manage multiple last-mile links and quality of service; security as a service stack to protect all traffic from locations and users; secure and optimised access to Cloud resources and mobile users; and a self-service management application.
