Israeli Cato Networks announced the opening of its newest Point of Presence (PoP) in Oslo. This new datacenter location extends Cato’s AI-powered network security platform to sites and users in Norway and across the Nordics.
“Demand for our security and networking SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform continues to grow here in the Nordics, and adding another Point of Presence (PoP) in the region further enhances our ability to serve and support our expanding customer base. By opening a PoP in Oslo, Cato can provide even better performance and reliability not only in Norway but to customers and partners throughout the Nordics region,” says Itai Levy, Area Director for Benelux and Nordics.
The Oslo PoP will be Cato’s fourth PoP location within the Nordics that also includes PoPs in Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Stockholm. All PoPs are physically situated within their designated locations and deliver the full scope of Cato’s capabilities – network security, AI security, endpoint security, optimized networking, and detection and response.
Traffic is processed by Cato’s Single Pass Cloud Engine (SPACE). PoPs contains dozens of Single Pass Cloud Engine (SPACE) instances running in parallel to create a massively scalable and resilient architecture. This not only ensures uninterrupted service — with workloads automatically shifting to healthy SPACEs if one fails — but also continuously feeds rich data into Cato’s AI models for proactive threat analysis and instant mitigation. If a PoP becomes unreachable, traffic is seamlessly redirected to SPACEs in other PoPs, maintaining a secure, reliable user experience everywhere.
