Network security provider Cato Networks (Cato) has launched Cato PartnerCloud, a new channel partner program for the company’s network security as a service (NSaaS) solution, Cato Cloud.

“The threat landscape continues to evolve, and many enterprises struggle to manage and maintain their network security infrastructure as operations expand in the cloud and the mobile workforce grows,” says Glenn Esposito, vice president of sales, Americas for Cato. “Our channel partners are the customers’ trusted advisors, and they are uniquely positioned to help businesses adopt NSaaS to streamline their IT operations. Partners can expand their business by creating a new managed service offering to address the growing skills and expertise gaps within their customers’ IT staffs.”

According to the company, the new partner program is ideally suited for:

• VARs looking to expand their networking and security solutions portfolio to support existing customer demand for cloud-based security solutions.
• Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) looking to use the cloud to simplify service delivery by reducing friction with the customer’s IT environment and also minimize the service provider’s network security appliance footprint within its data centers.
• Internet service providers looking to seamlessly provide Internet and cloud security services to their “last mile” customers, as well as global connectivity to regional, national, and international locations.
