Cato: 45-Minute CVE Protection with Agentic AI

Cato Networks now claims a 45-minute vulnerability protection time for newly disclosed threats. This speed comes from combining agentic threat research with its cloud-native Cato Cloud platform. Traditional security systems, which rely on updates and manual deployment, can be difficult to manage. Cato says its cloud architecture allows for global deployment of protections without individual customer patching. This approach focuses on network security across an enterprise, not just application protection. The company automates the entire CVE response process, from monitoring disclosures to deploying global threat signatures. While human supervised, this process significantly reduces manual work. For managed security service providers, this means less time spent triaging vulnerabilities and waiting for vendor fixes. It also removes the need to test and deploy fixes manually for each client. Cato emphasizes that this network-level protection gives organizations a crucial window to patch their systems without immediate risk of exploitation.
