Welcome to the future of cloud networking and security!
Cato Networks is the first company to converge enterprise networking and security into one centralized and global service that is delivered by cloud. It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeam, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028.
This is your opportunity to get on the rocket ship and join a company that is building a cutting-edge enterprise network and secure cloud platform, and is on a fast track to becoming the worldwide market leader – don’t miss it!
This is an opportunity to build and lead Cato Networks' Sales Engineering organization across EMEA and play a central role in a fast-paced, high-growth business. At Cato Networks, we are transforming networking and network security through a cloud-native platform that converges security and connectivity into a single global service. Our infrastructure spans five continents, our customer base is growing rapidly, and our teams work closely across sales, product, and customer-facing functions to help organizations modernize securely. If you are excited by building high-performing technical teams, shaping regional strategy, and helping customers adopt a new approach to secure networking, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact.
