From friction to flow: Why Swissport scrapped its VPN maze for Cato’s SASE platform
1 min read
Summary
Swissport, the world’s largest provider of cargo and ground services to the aviation industry, has adopted secure access service edge (SASE) architecture to improve and unify its security and networking services.
The company was encountering difficulties scaling its legacy systems as it expanded and required a framework that could deliver the visibility and consistency required to secure its global IT operations.
As part of the decision-making process, Swissport researched several SASE vendors, concluding that Cato Networks was the best fit as it offered a single management plane, a unified data lake, and the ability to merge software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) and security into one layer.
SASE provides the business with the flexibility required to grow and serve customers, as well as real-time responsiveness and transparency to improve customer relationships.
Giles Ashton-Roberts, CIO at Swissport, said that SASE has improved the company’s security posture and enables it to enforce Zero Trust across every edge and endpoint, providing full visibility.
