Cato Networks and CrowdStrike partner to unify network and endpoint security
Networking and security company Cato Networks Ltd. today unveiled a partnership with CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. to integrate their platforms and give security teams a single view of network and endpoint data.
The integration ties the Cato SASE Platform to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Analysts get endpoint alerts and network activity side by side, which the companies say should shorten investigations and speed response.
Network and endpoint monitoring usually sit in separate tools. An analyst chasing an alert in one has to go dig up the matching activity in the other, which is slow and leaves room to miss things. Cato and CrowdStrike say wiring the two feeds together removes that manual step and gives detections more context to draw on.
The integrations cover three areas. Cato XOps and CrowdStrike Falcon Discover correlate endpoint detections with network telemetry to sharpen threat visibility and accelerate investigations. Cato Asset Security and Falcon Discover combine device intelligence with endpoint context for a fuller view of managed assets. The Cato SASE Platform also streams network telemetry into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, letting analysts hunt threats and build detections from a broader set of signals.
