Cato Networks SASE 3-year saving
₹1.8 Crore
over 3 years for a 22-branch Mumbai finance company, when one Cato Networks SASE platform replaced six separate products: office links, firewalls, VPN, two web-security tools and a data-leak tool. Six logins became one. Six sets of rules became one. Six renewal dates became one.

What is Cato Networks SASE?
Cato Networks SASE is one cloud service that connects all your offices and staff to the internet and keeps them safe at the same time. SASE is short for “secure access service edge”. In plain words, it brings your network and your security together into a single service from one company.
One account covers eight jobs that used to need eight separate products: linking your branches, giving staff safe access from home, filtering risky websites, controlling cloud apps, stopping data leaks, blocking attacks at the door, catching break-in attempts, and watching for threats.
You run all of it from one screen, with one login linked to Microsoft Entra ID (the Microsoft sign-in your staff already use). Cato built the whole thing as one product from the start, instead of gluing smaller tools together. See the overview on the official Cato Networks SASE site.
Most buyers choose one of three ways. Keep your current office links and buy only the security part (called Cato SSE 360). Replace the network and the security together (called Cato SASE Cloud). Or let Sirius Star run the whole thing for you. Every option uses the same India data centres in Mumbai and Chennai, and every option follows India’s DPDP data-protection law, set by the Ministry of Electronics and IT. The free 24-hour review tells you which one fits.
3 ways to buy Cato Networks SASE in India
Same worldwide private network. Same India data centres in Mumbai and Chennai. Three ways to buy Cato Networks SASE, picked from whether you keep your current office links or switch the whole network over.
Cato SASE Cloud: the full switch
Replaces your rented office links, branch firewalls and VPN with small Cato boxes and one app, all on Cato’s worldwide private network. Network and security run under one set of rules. It can also keep factory machines on their own safe, separated network, following a standard called IEC 62443. After the switch, your team runs one system instead of six. Add Secure Data Guard to stop data leaks on staff laptops too.
From ₹1,180 / user / month
Cato SSE 360: security only
Keeps your current office links. Adds safe remote access, web filtering, cloud-app control, data-leak protection and attack blocking on Cato’s network. Works with Entra ID sign-in, and sends security logs to Sentinel.
From ₹540 per user per month
We run it for you
For businesses with no network team in-house. We update the rules each quarter, check the branch boxes each month, manage who has access, and hand security logs to Microsoft Sentinel.
From ₹28,500 per company per month

Free · 24 hours
Plan the boxes and access rules
We size the right Cato box for each branch and decide who can reach what. Staff sign in through Entra ID, and only approved company devices get in, checked by Intune.
Week 1
Test run: 5 branches and 50 staff
A four-week trial. The first 20 apps go live, web filtering is tuned, the list of approved cloud apps is set, and the Cato app reaches staff through their Microsoft 365 sign-in.
Weeks 2 to 5
Go live and switch off the old links
Three to five branches move onto Cato at a time. We turn off each old rented office link 90 days after the branch is steady. Records follow the ISO 27001 security standard.

Is Cato Networks SASE right for your network?
Cato Networks SASE from Sirius Star Enterprise Technologies is one service that brings your network and security together: safe remote access, web filtering, cloud-app control, data-leak protection and attack blocking, on a worldwide private network with India data centres in Mumbai and Chennai. We deliver it from Vashi, Navi Mumbai for Indian businesses with 5 to 500 branches, with a free 24-hour review, branch box sizing, access design, and the option for us to run it for you.
You are a good fit if:
- 5 or more branches in India
- 100 or more staff working from home and the office
- Branch firewalls due for replacement
- A VPN that lets remote staff reach too much
- Apps running on AWS or Azure
- You want staff sign-in and security logs handled by CERT-In-ready tools
If you run from one office with under 100 staff on normal broadband, a simpler security-only setup will cost less than the full Cato Networks SASE switch. We will tell you that in the review.
Cato Networks SASE vs Zscaler, Netskope and Fortinet: an honest call
Cato Networks SASE is the best pick when you want one company to handle both your network and your security, built as a single product from day one. Zscaler is better if you only want the security part and are happy to keep your current office-link provider. Netskope is strong when your biggest worry is controlling cloud apps and stopping data leaks.
Fortinet fits you if you already run Fortinet firewalls and your team knows the tools well; if that sounds like you, our Sophos Intercept X notes on laptop security are worth a read. Palo Alto suits large global companies already built around Palo. The honest answer comes from the free review, not a brochure. Pair Cato with Microsoft Purview to organise your data and Secure Data Guard to stop leaks on staff laptops.
Who is Cato Networks SASE a good fit for in India?
Cato Networks SASE works best for Indian businesses that already have established workflows around the related platforms, need DPDP-compliant data residency, and want a single accountable partner for deployment plus quarterly tuning. Sirius Star runs the entire lifecycle — scoping, deployment, training, and renewal — from a Navi Mumbai engineering team.
How long does Cato Networks SASE deployment take?
A typical Cato Networks SASE rollout in India takes 2-6 weeks from purchase order to production cutover, depending on scope. Sirius Star follows a phased plan: scoping call within 8 working hours of enquiry, design review within 5 days, deployment waves, then a 30-day stabilisation window before handing over to your team or our managed retainer.
Cato Networks SASE FAQ for Indian businesses
What is Cato Networks SASE and how does it work in India?
Cato Networks SASE is one cloud service that connects all your offices and staff to the internet and protects them at the same time. SASE means “secure access service edge”: your network and your security come from one company instead of many. It runs on a worldwide private network with India data centres in Mumbai and Chennai. For a business with 5 or more branches, it does the job of your old office links, firewalls, VPN and web filters, all from one screen with one login linked to Microsoft Entra ID.
What does Cato Networks SASE cost in India in 2026?
There are two main plans. The security-only plan, Cato SSE 360, keeps your current office links and starts around INR 540 per user per month. The full plan, Cato SASE Cloud, replaces your office links, firewalls and VPN and starts around INR 1,180 per user per month. If you want Sirius Star to run it for you, that starts around INR 28,500 per month for the whole company. Our free review gives you the exact split and a 3-year cost picture.
How does Cato Networks SASE compare with Zscaler, Netskope and Fortinet?
Cato Networks SASE is best when you want one company to handle both your network and your security together. Zscaler fits if you only want the security part and keep your current office-link provider. Netskope is strong when your main worry is controlling cloud apps and stopping data leaks. Fortinet suits you if you already run Fortinet firewalls; pair the choice with our Microsoft Defender notes on laptop security. Sirius Star tells you which one fits in the free review.
How long does a Cato Networks SASE rollout take for an Indian estate?
A security-only setup goes live in 3 to 6 weeks. That covers single sign-in through Entra ID, the Cato app rolled out to staff through Microsoft Intune, and the first 20 apps opened up safely. The full setup, where small Cato boxes replace the firewall at each branch and the Cato network replaces your rented office links, adds 8 to 16 weeks for a 25-branch business. We switch over 3 to 5 branches at a time.
