Today, Cato Networks, the SASE provider has announced it has joined the AI Incident Sharing Initiative launched by the MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense and MITRE ATLAS. Cato is collaborating with MITRE and 15 other companies—including CrowdStrike and Microsoft—to increase community knowledge of threats and defences for AI-enabled systems.

“At Cato Networks, we believe AI is one of the most vulnerable threat vectors and requires public-private partnerships to ensure that we’re protecting this technology from attackers,” said Etay Maor, chief security strategist at Cato Networks and founding member of Cato CTRL. “We look forward to collaborating with MITRE and others on the AI Incident Sharing Initiative. Cybersecurity is a team sport, and this is an opportunity to work together to successfully defend AI-enabled systems.”

“As a leader in threat intelligence, we believe Cato Networks brings a lot of value to the AI Incident Sharing Initiative with their AI expertise,” said Jon Baker, director of research and development, Center for Threat-Informed Defense at MITRE Engenuity. “This initiative will serve as the safe space for AI assurance incident sharing at the intersection of the industry, government, and extended community.”

In addition to Cato, collaborators on the AI Incident Sharing initiative include: AttackIQ, BlueRock, Booz Allen Hamilton, Citigroup, Cloud Security Alliance, CrowdStrike, FS-ISAC, Fujitsu, HCA Healthcare, HiddenLayer, Intel, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Microsoft, Standard Chartered, and Verizon Business.

Under the AI Incident Sharing initiative, a community of trusted contributors receive protected and anonymized data on real-world AI incidents that are occurring across operational AI-enabled systems.

Anyone can submit an incident via the public incident sharing site. Upon submission, their organisation will be considered for membership in the trusted community of data receivers. Sharing and receiving this protected information will enable more data-driven risk intelligence and analysis at scale across the community.

The AI incident sharing website and submission form is available at https://ai-incidents.mitre.org/.

This announcement follows the news that Cato have been included in the 2025 Fortune Cyber 60 List for a second consecutive year.

This week, SASE providers Cato Networks, announced that Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO at Cato Networks, will be speaking at Bloomberg Tech London 2024.

Kramer will appear at a session, “Protecting Your Information in the Cloud” (Tuesday, October 22 at 11:00 a.m. BST), and discuss the common cause underlying many cyberattacks—the increasing complexity of enterprise networks. Kramer will be joined by:

  • Roy Reznik, co-founder and vice president of R&D at Wiz
  • Dr. Ellison Anne Williams, CEO and founder at Enveil
  • Jordan Robertson, cybersecurity reporter at Bloomberg and moderator of the panel

“IT leaders face a cybersecurity crisis caused not by a lack of technology, but rather a surplus,” said Kramer. “For years, IT vendors have encouraged enterprises to buy one security point solution after another. Yet, we continue to see attackers successfully exploit long-known threat vectors. The answer? A single platform that converges capabilities together for precise threat identification and easy deployment. That’s the power of true SASE.”

Bloomberg Tech London 2024 will take place at The Brewery, bringing together visionaries, investors, founders, and policymakers to discuss trust in technology.

This news comes after Cato announced they are expanding their SASE platform (again) with DEM for complete user experience delivery.
