Wedoany.com Report on Mar 4th, Cato Networks recently launched a threat prediction engine designed to prevent attacks by proactively monitoring enterprise network behavior, emphasizing that security protection should focus on prediction rather than passive response.
The Dynamic Protection feature has been integrated into Cato's Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform and can continuously assess potential threats. When suspicious malicious activity is detected, the system automatically implements restrictions to block the threat without adding additional operational pressure.
Lior Cohen, Vice President of Product Management, Security, and Management at Cato Networks, stated: "Enterprises are facing increasingly sophisticated advanced threats that often spread quietly over time. With the rapid development of AI and autonomous agent technologies, the threat landscape is evolving at an accelerated pace. Cato Dynamic Protection significantly enhances security effectiveness by continuously analyzing behavioral context, predicting attacker movements, and automatically executing targeted protection."
When announcing this tool, Cato Networks cited Gartner research data indicating that approximately 61% of enterprises lack full-time threat hunting experts and primarily rely on passive response mechanisms, which can lead to insufficient security team resources, poor collaboration, and increased vulnerabilities. This dynamic protection engine is available to global customers through the SASE platform.
The company, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, stated that the Dynamic Protection tool provides behavior-based threat defense, automatically intercepting threats that evade routine checks. It correlates security and network activity data over several months to identify potential risks, rather than monitoring only real-time inputs.
Aviation services company Swissport is one of the early users of this tool. Its Chief Information Security Officer, Giles Ashton-Roberts, commented: "Cato Dynamic Protection highlights the value of integrating security and network signals into a unified platform." He added: "Only with this comprehensive visibility and contextual information can security teams respond quickly and contain threats before they impact critical business operations."
