The companies collaborate to provide scalable, converged networking and security across key enterprise verticals
London, 24th September 2025: GCX Managed Services (GCX), which delivers cutting-edge networking solutions to leading brands, has today announced a collaboration with Cato Networks, the SASE leader, to deliver a managed Secure Access Service Edge (MSASE) service powered by the Cato SASE Cloud Platform.
Through this collaboration, GCX Managed Services introduces a fully converged SASE platform from Cato that simplifies networking and security operations, enables secure AI adoption, and improves operational efficiency and business agility across global enterprises. Combined with GCX’s existing robust network underlay, the joint MSASE offering with Cato provides optimized global connectivity, security, and resilience for industries where performance, availability, and scalable security are essential for growth, such as global manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, supply chain, legal, finance and professional services.
Lorenzo Romano, CEO of GCX Managed Services, commented, “We’re collaborating with Cato Networks to deliver a clear, customer-first approach to managed SASE — an edge in a rapidly growing market. Cato’s SASE architecture aligns with our vision for security-focused MSP solutions, helping global enterprises navigate complexity with confidence. This collaboration truly strengthens our position as a leading MSASE provider, enabling secure, high-performance connectivity wherever our customers’ ambitions take them.”
GCX Managed Services saw unique value in Cato’s SASE architecture, which replaces multiple point solutions—including standalone firewalls, VPNs and SD-WAN appliances—with a single, cloud-native platform. Enterprises can manage all networking and security policies from a single console, reducing complexity and operational overhead, and address the emerging challenge of securing AI.
Through this collaboration, GCX Managed Services and Cato combine their global private backbone infrastructure to enhance resiliency and efficiency across borders, delivering the speed, stability, and control that global enterprises need, and eliminating the fragmentation and security gaps that often arise from relying on separate networks.
Mark Draper, AVP of Channel Sales, EMEA at Cato Networks, commented:
“Our collaboration with GCX Managed Services represents a strong step forward in delivering managed SASE at scale. By combining GCX’s global managed services expertise with the Cato SASE Cloud Platform, we’re enabling enterprises to simplify operations, strengthen resilience, and securely adopt AI. Together, we are helping customers achieve consistent, high-performance connectivity and security across borders, remove IT complexity, and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
