Our verdict on Cato CASB
Cato CASB provides cloud and SaaS application visibility and control for organizations that need integrated CASB and SASE capabilities. It identifies sanctioned and unsanctioned applications, assesses application risk, and applies policies based on users, applications, actions, and context. The product supports web and API access, with hybrid deployment, inline controls, API controls, DLP controls, shadow IT discovery, and threat detection.
Its standout capability is the combination of real-time inline enforcement and API-based SaaS monitoring. Inline inspection can enforce policies during cloud application traffic, while API controls provide out-of-band visibility into SaaS activity, including activity involving unmanaged devices. Administrators can also apply tenant restrictions, monitor application activity, and manage policies centrally through the Cato Management Application. Integrations include Microsoft 365, Google Drive and Workspace, Salesforce, Slack, GitHub, Box, Dropbox, ChatGPT, ServiceNow, Workday, Zendesk, Egnyte, Confluence, Jira, and Atlassian Jira and Confluence.
Cato describes licensing through bandwidth and ZTNA-user quantities, with pricing handled through contact with Cato or a representative. That approach suits organizations evaluating CASB alongside broader access and policy requirements, but it gives buyers less immediate pricing visibility than a published plan structure. Cato CASB is a strong fit for teams that need cloud application discovery, Shadow IT and Shadow AI identification, granular controls, DLP, and both inline and API enforcement in one product. Organizations seeking a narrowly scoped SaaS monitoring tool or publicly listed CASB pricing may prefer an alternative with a simpler purchasing model.
