    Daniel,

    Both items are implemented as part of the IPS service and nothing is required from the customer side to update.  

    WAF rules were added to their IPS, vSphere was added to App Control.

    Thanks!

    Does BGP multihop have to be enabled under the hood?

    Hi Matrix Networks,


    With Cato, there's no limitation to RTT. So there's no issue with BGP multihop. Note that this is not a mandatory configuration to be enabled with Cato.

    For future possible questions on Cato's product, please feel free to create new posts directly into our Community.
