”Säkerhetsteam måste reagera med maskinhastighet, men snabbhet i sig räcker inte. Det som avgör är vem som kan koppla modellerna till rätt data och rätt arkitektur. Daybreak låter oss göra det tillsammans med OpenAI.”
Why it matters
The partnership is intended to speed up reaction times during security threats. By integrating AI from OpenAI directly into Cato’s SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform, analysis and protection creation can be automated. This enables faster deployment of protective measures globally, which is critical in today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Who is affected?
The programme affects the IT security industry, particularly companies using Cato’s network security solutions. Developers and security teams at Cato will work on the AI integration. Users of Cato’s platform will benefit from improved and faster vulnerability management.
What else you should know
An internal test showed that Cato could progress from vulnerability discovery to globally deployed protection in 45 minutes, with AI agents handling analysis and protection creation while a human provided approval before implementation.
