The findings are based on interviews with decision-makers from various organizations, revealing that prior to Cato SASE, they faced challenges such as complex infrastructure and high costs associated with multiple point solutions. Post-implementation, organizations reported significant labor savings, improved security posture, and cost reductions in licensing and telecom. Key quantified benefits over three years include breach cost savings of $2.1 million and labor savings of $2.0 million, among others. The study also highlights unquantified benefits such as enhanced regulatory compliance and improved collaboration between network and security teams.
