Cato Networks has expanded its cloud SASE platform by adding digital experience monitoring (DEM) capabilities, which provide IT operations teams with insights into application traffic and network performance data to optimize end-user experiences. By monitoring and analyzing data across application and network traffic, Cato DEM goes beyond traditional SASE offerings, aiming to improve application performance, network flow, and end-user experience. The platform relies on a combination of real-time and synthetic monitoring, collecting network flow data into a data lake, analyzing it with AI models, and detecting anomalies in performance and user behavior
Cato controls the network flow, enabling it to optimize performance end-to-end and provide tools for real-time optimization. DEM is accessible through Cato's Cloud SASE platform, running on a private global backbone with over 90 points of presence connected via multiple network providers, ensuring enhanced application performance and user experience. ```https://www.networkworld.com/article/3562959/cato-networks-extends-sase-platform-with-digital-experience-monitoring.html
