Product Update - March 21st, 2022

New Features & Enhancements

  • Internet Traffic Backhauling: You can use network rules to backhaul specific Internet traffic to sites that are designated as backhauling gateways. The specific Internet traffic is then forwarded to the backhauling site’s local IP gateway for further processing. Read more.
    • The backhauling gateway sites require Socket 12.0 or higher
    • Backhauling traffic is supported for sites and SDP users
  • Improved SDP User Experience with Browser Authentication: We updated the Authentication (Access > Client Access > Authentication) screen so you can select the Browser Authentication experience for your Client users and use the in-Client browser or the external default OS browser. Read more.
    • In-Client browser is supported from Windows Client v5.2 and macOS Client v5.0 and higher
    • Please note that in some cases, external default OS browser is still required. Read more
  • Improvements to Events: Over the next two weeks, we are gradually implementing a significant performance improvement to the new Cato Management Application Events screen. This will provide better response times, visibility for distribution of events entries, and bug fixes. Read more.
    • Starting on March 27th, you will only be able to view events in the new Cato Management Application, and the legacy Event Discovery screen will no longer be available
  • Announcing End-of-Life for EventFeed API Query: The Cato API EventFeed query was replaced by the more robust and improved EventsFeed in July 2021. Starting on March 27, 2022, the EventFeed query will be end-of-life and will not be available to customers. Read more about the EventsFeed query here.
