Cato Networks has announced the launch of digital experience monitoring (DEM) capabilities to enhance their cloud Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform, providing IT operations teams with essential data to optimize end-user experiences. This new feature will focus on monitoring and analyzing data from application and network traffic, going beyond the traditional SASE platform’s security and networking functions.

By incorporating DEM into the Cato Cloud SASE platform, users will benefit from improved application performance and enhanced insights to enhance user experiences. This addition comes after Cato previously integrated extended detection and response (XDR) and endpoint protection platform (EPP) capabilities into their SASE solution, expanding their offerings in the cybersecurity space.

Industry experts like Shamus McGillicuddy, Vice President of Research at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), recognize the significance of DEM in the evolving SASE landscape. McGillicuddy emphasizes the importance of user experience as a key metric for evaluating IT effectiveness, highlighting the need for a SASE platform that can provide visibility into all applications, offer solutions to address user experience issues, and deliver accurate analysis based on real user traffic insights.

In McGillicuddy’s view, DEM plays a vital role in shaping the future of SASE, but its success hinges on selecting the right platform that can meet the demands of modern IT environments. A robust SASE platform should be capable of not only monitoring application and network performance but also facilitating proactive measures to enhance user experiences and ensure optimal performance.

With Cato’s introduction of DEM capabilities, organizations leveraging the Cato Cloud SASE platform can expect a more comprehensive and integrated approach to managing their digital experiences. By combining security, networking, and now DEM functionalities, Cato aims to empower IT teams with the tools they need to deliver exceptional user experiences and maintain high levels of performance across their network infrastructure.

As digital transformation continues to reshape the business landscape, the demand for advanced monitoring and optimization tools like DEM will only grow. Companies looking to stay ahead of the curve in terms of IT effectiveness and user satisfaction can now turn to Cato Networks for a cutting-edge solution that combines the best of security, networking, and digital experience monitoring in one integrated platform.
