CIAL Dun & Bradstreet connected to the global data supply chain via VPN tunnels to various enterprise datacenters, tunnels to instances in Amazon AWS, along with the individual sites. Cato’s ability to prioritize WAN and Internet traffic has been particularly helpful. “Because Internet connectivity is expensive in Latin America, it’s prohibitively expensive to give people very high Internet connections. When you have 80 to 100 people sharing a connection, you need to prioritize the traffic.” Cato also gives CIAL Dun & Bradstreet the ability to segment traffic to prevent the spread of malware. “We use the WAN rules to segment traffic much more carefully,” Cohen says. “We use a TLS inspection service to prevent any viruses from spreading across our network. We added security rules around the type of traffic and type of pass-through, so it would be much harder for any malware to get from site to site.” CIAL Dun & Bradstreet Looks Ahead with Cato Cohen is looking for ways to get more out of CIAL Dun & Bradstreet’s use of the Cato Cloud. “One thing I’m considering is to have the Cato Client on all our devices to force them to come through the Cato Cloud. This is probably my next move with Cato,” says Cohen. The Cato Client connects mobile users to the Cato Cloud and provides secure and optimized access to the enterprise SD-WAN. All of the resources accessible from the locations, whether they’re in physical datacenters or in the cloud and Internet, can be made accessible to mobile users. And by connecting directly to those resources through the closest Cato PoP, mobile users performance if far better than traditional mobile VPN solutions. This has allowed the team to expand in new regions rapidly and organically. Cato. Ready for Whatever’s Next Case Studies - Banking/Credit union & Financial Services 13
