11:11 Systems partners with Cato Networks to deliver managed SASE

11:11 Systems has partnered with Cato Networks to launch a fully managed Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, targeting distributed enterprises that want to consolidate their networking and security stacks.

The 11:11 Managed SASE offering is built on Cato Networks' cloud-native platform and bundles zero trust network access (ZTNA), firewall as a service (FWaaS), secure web gateway (SWG), cloud access security broker (CASB) and advanced threat protection into a single managed service.

It also includes 24x7x365 monitoring and support, incident management integration and centralised visibility.

According to 11:11, the solution is designed for organisations managing users, applications and locations across branch offices, data centres and cloud environments - reducing what the company described as vendor sprawl and operational complexity for internal IT teams.

The offering sits within 11:11's broader Network as a Service portfolio and is backed by the company's global backbone, carrier-agnostic connectivity options and existing managed services spanning cloud, backup, disaster recovery and security.

"Enterprises are under pressure to support users, applications and locations that are more distributed than ever, while limiting complexity and improving security," said Justin Giardina, chief technology officer at 11:11 Systems.

"Our Managed SASE solution provides customers with a unified approach to modernising networking and security, along with the visibility, support and flexibility they need to thrive in a rapidly changing environment."

"“As enterprises move beyond fragmented legacy networking and security stacks, they need a simpler way to gain visibility, context and control across hybrid work environments and reduce the operational burden on IT," said Karl Soderlund, global channel chief at Cato Networks.

"Through our partnership, we can address these challenges head on and deliver end-to-end visibility and protection in a single service built for the reality of modern work," he said.
