Tel Aviv-based cloud security provider Cato Networks has made headlines with a massive $359 million raise in its Series G funding round, announced on June 30, 2025. This latest investment catapults the company's valuation to over $4.8 billion, solidifying its position as a leading player in the cybersecurity industry.
The funding round, led by prominent investors such as Vitruvian Partners and ION Crossover Partners, reflects strong confidence in Cato Networks' innovative approach to enterprise security and networking. The company, founded in 2015, delivers cutting-edge solutions through a single cloud platform, addressing the growing demand for robust cybersecurity in an increasingly digital world.
With this new capital, Cato Networks plans to enhance its AI-driven security capabilities and boost investment in research and development. The company also aims to expand its global footprint, reaching more businesses worldwide with its cloud-based secure networking solutions.
This funding comes at a time when cybersecurity remains a top priority for enterprises, as cyber threats continue to evolve. Cato Networks' ability to secure enterprise WAN connections, mobile devices, and cloud environments with next-generation firewalling and threat hunting capabilities has positioned it as a trusted partner for businesses.
Since its inception, Cato Networks has raised over $1 billion in total funding, marking a significant milestone for the Israeli cybersecurity sector. Previous rounds, including a $238 million raise in 2023, have fueled its growth, despite fluctuations in venture capital investments in the region.
As the company eyes a potential IPO in 2025, this latest funding round signals strong market confidence and sets the stage for further innovation. Cato Networks continues to redefine cloud security, offering a glimpse into the future of enterprise networking solutions.
