Cato Networks joins World Economic Forum Innovator Communities
Summary
Cato Networks said it joined the World Economic Forum’s Innovator Communities, joining programs that connect select companies with forum initiatives.
The company said its participation aligns with work through the Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity, covering cybersecurity priorities described in the announcement, including cyber resilience, cyber frontiers, and global cooperation.
Cato said it will engage with the Centre for Cybersecurity through its described priorities and related flagship initiatives: Cyber Resilience in Industries, Partnership against Cybercrime, and Cyber Frontiers: AI and Cyber.
“For more than three decades, I've seen every major technology shift create new opportunities and new security challenges,” said Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO of Cato Networks. “AI is moving faster than any technology shift I've seen before, and while it offers tremendous potential, it also presents significant risk. No one company can solve the challenges of the frontier AI era alone. The World Economic Forum is one of the few places where business, technology, and government leaders can tackle them together. That's where Cato can bring what we're seeing every day from securing global enterprises.”
“As AI continues to redefine how organizations across industries operate, the conversations around security must be informed by the people solving these challenges every day,” said Akshay Joshi, head of Centre for Cybersecurity at the World Economic Forum. “Cato Networks brings a valuable perspective from securing global enterprises at scale, and we're pleased to welcome the company into our Innovator Communities. Its expertise will help inform discussions critical to ensuring we're prepared for the cyber threats of today – and tomorrow.”
Forward-looking statements were not included beyond describing Cato’s engagement extending to the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2027 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.
