Chat with Rajesh Rajagopal
Co-Founder of Cato Networks
About Rajesh Rajagopal
In 2015, Rajesh Rajagopal co-founded Cato Networks after witnessing enterprises repeatedly over-provisioning hardware firewalls and MPLS links, spending millions to secure networks built for a pre-cloud world. He led the design of the first global private backbone purpose-built for SASE, integrating SD-WAN, CASB, FWaaS, and DLP into a single cloud-native stack, not as bolted-on modules, but as deeply coordinated services sharing real-time telemetry and policy context. His insistence on treating security and connectivity as inseparable layers, rather than siloed products, forced industry rethinking: Gartner’s SASE framework gained traction only after Cato demonstrated measurable latency reduction *and* breach containment in live financial-sector deployments. Rajesh doesn’t speak in abstractions about zero trust; he cites the exact milliseconds saved by routing a bank’s transaction traffic through Cato’s Point of Presence in Frankfurt versus backhauling to a legacy data center in Dallas.
