Carlsberg Group Selects Cato Networks for Massive Global SASE Deployment

With a single-vendor SASE deployment, global brewer addresses strategic IT challenges at scale, improving application delivery, modernizing security capabilities, and standardizing IT service delivery across 200+ locations and 25,000+ remote users
TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Cato Networks, provider of the world’s leading single-vendor SASE platform, announced Carlsberg Group as its latest enterprise customer. The third largest brewer in the world chose single-vendor SASE to transform its global network and security infrastructure. The Cato deployment will span 200+ locations and 25,000 remote users worldwide. Instead of security appliances, Carlsberg will rely on Cato’s cloud-native security capabilities, including SWG, CASB, DLP, ZTNA, FWaaS, IPS, and NGAM.
“We were looking to move from several regional service providers with fragmented technical solutions to one integrated network and security stack with an end-to-end managed service,” says Laurent Gaertner, Global Director of Networks at the Carlsberg Group. “The Cato SASE Cloud and service offering perfectly matched our requirements.”
“The same challenges faced by Carlsberg — optimal security posture, improved global performance, and enhanced business agility everywhere — confront enterprises worldwide every day,” says Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO of Cato Networks. “Cato was explicitly built to help companies of all sizes meet those needs. We’re excited to work with Carlsberg and see their adoption of Cato as just the latest evidence that large enterprises can best meet today’s security and networking challenges with a single-vendor SASE cloud platform.”
Legacy Network Leads to Security Risks and Application Disruptions
Established in 1847, the Carlsberg Group is the world’s third largest brewer with a $10.6B in revenue spanning over 140 brands. Carlsberg’s network connects 200+ sites across Western & Central Europe and the Asia regions.
The legacy network, built from different regional point solutions and technologies, proved to be challenging to manage for Carlsberg. Opening new locations took too long. VPN performance into China was a problem. And across regions, the Internet-based SD-WAN connecting locations was unsuitable for the company’s VoIP and fully utilizing all Microsoft Office 365 features. “We had to retain MPLS just to ensure proper voice quality,” says Gaertner. “And with Microsoft Teams, it doesn’t take a lot of latency for the application collaboration features to become unusable.”
The mix of appliances also created security problems. With multiple firewall appliances, visibility was fragmented. Multiple sets of security policies had to be maintained, which increased complexity and risk. Carlsberg’s Cyber Security Group wanted zero-trust to be implemented consistently, which also wasn’t possible with the legacy network.
Legacy Network Problems Led to Strategic IT Challenges
From a strategic perspective, building the legacy network from different providers and technologies prevented IT from delivering consistent service levels worldwide. “Some users would receive higher availability and others better capabilities, but we couldn’t bring it all together to create an à la carte set of services that could apply to any office anywhere and facilitate our global IT development,” says Gaertner.
Day-to-day management was also compromised. Change requests took too long in part because of the different management interfaces, which complicated problem identification and resolution. Coordinating the different layers of the solution with different service providers became a real challenge.
Carlsberg Assesses Single-vendor SASE, Entrusts Cato with its Global Infrastructure
To address those problems, the company began looking for a single, global SASE solution. After an extensive evaluation of six SASE approaches, Carlsberg selected Cato.
Cato’s rich security capabilities meant Carlberg would have one platform and one security policy worldwide protecting all edges — sites with SD-WAN devices, the cloud with native cloud connectivity, and mobile users running the Cato Client. “The Cato security features are a significant step ahead in our Zero Trust implementation strategy and the future innovation will bring us even further,” says Tal Arad, Vice President of Global Security & Technology at Carlsberg.
The Cato global private backbone underlying Cato SASE Cloud also met Carlsberg’s performance requirements globally. As such, Carlsberg expects to eliminate the remaining MPLS, relying on Cato for VoIP, ERP, and the rest of its applications.

Bitget’s Smart Portfolio Bot Enables Sophisticated Crypto Trading For Users
VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the leading crypto derivatives and copy trading platform, has announced the launch of Smart Portfolio, an intelligent investment bot designed to boost returns. This is a groundbreaking addition to its platform that promises to empower traders and investors with dynamic portfolio management capabilities, allowing users to rebalance assets based on price fluctuations to earn higher profits.
The Smart Portfolio bot represents a quantum leap in the way users manage their digital asset portfolios. It is an intelligent bot that continually and dynamically rebalances positions within a user-selected portfolio of cryptocurrencies, ensuring a constant proportion of each coin is maintained. Smart Portfolio shifts allocations between cryptocurrencies in a user’s portfolio as market values change. The bot will bank profits when asset prices peak and buy additional crypto when prices are low. This dynamic rebalancing aims to increase overall portfolio value over time versus simply holding assets.
Users can choose between two rebalancing modes tailored to their unique investment strategy: percentage-of-portfolio rebalancing and calendar rebalancing. Percentage-of-portfolio rebalancing is triggered when the percentage allocation of one or more coins deviates from the preset target by a threshold amount, due to changes in market capitalization. This helps maintain the desired coin proportions. Calendar rebalancing means time-based adjustments occur at fixed intervals to rebalance back to the preset allocations, if the percentages have drifted. The intelligent bot analyzes price momentum and volatility to determine the optimal times to rebalance under both modes. Its algorithms aim to maximize returns from portfolio rebalancing based on market conditions.
Smart Portfolio bot with dynamic rebalancing enables systematically buying low and selling high across the market’s cycles. The key is to act swiftly to lock in gains from short-term price spikes before values fall back down. Then reinvest those freed-up funds into undervalued coins poised to rally. This mechanism can steadily increase the total quantity of cryptocurrency assets held over time.
There are often correlations between cryptocurrencies and sectors in the crypto market. When some coins rise in value, others may fall. Simply holding assets can miss major profit opportunities during these cycles. For example, if a few coins increase in price and then start to decline, some other coins may simultaneously begin rising. By taking timely action to sell the first coins near their peak and using those profits to buy the cheaper rising coins, investors can capture additional gains.
Smart Portfolio offers passive crypto investors a powerful new tool to enhance returns. The automated manager handles portfolio rebalancing so users can sit back as their holdings grow. Smart Portfolio streamlines profit-taking, allocation, and reinvestment using proven trading principles.
“The launch of our Smart Portfolio bot exemplifies Bitget’s mission to keep providing innovative solutions that make crypto investing smarter. This automated portfolio manager aligns with our ‘Trade Smarter’ philosophy of leveraging technology to empower users. Beyond intelligent bots, we continue refining our platform with advanced features and services to help traders and investors thrive across different market conditions. Going forward, we are committed to keep raising the bar with more cutting-edge offerings to deliver an outstanding all-encompassing platform where people with all levels of crypto experience feel equipped to trade smarter”, said Gracy Chen, Managing Director at Bitget.
Bitget recently hosted its inaugural flagship event, EmpowerX Summit. The summit welcomed nearly 1900 esteemed guests and announced the $100 million EmpowerX Fund during the event. The fund, focusing on an unwavering commitment to fostering ecosystem development, will primarily support the growth of regional exchanges, data analytics firms, and media organizations.
