# Cato Networks ## Cato Networks The Dropzone platform integrates with [Cato Networks](https://www.catonetworks.com/), a cloud-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform that provides capabilities such as SD-WAN, secure web gateway (SWG), firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), zero trust network access (ZTNA), and cloud access security broker (CASB). By integrating with Cato Networks, Dropzone AI can leverage network and VPN telemetry to enhance security investigations by analyzing network traffic associated with alerts, identifying devices behind IP addresses, and correlating user and VPN activity across the environment. ## Obtain Account ID and API Key Cato Networks requires an Account ID and an API key to enable.
