Cato SDP Client Releases

• Windows Client v5.3: We are starting the gradual roll-out for the Windows Client version 5.3. This version includes:
  • Enhanced Reauthentication Experience: A notification lets users know that the SSO or MFA session will soon expire and allows them to seamlessly reauthenticate. Read more.
  • For Windows devices with the Intel Killer NICs, Cato recommends that you update to the latest suite. In some tests, this update overcomes the relevant connectivity issues.
  • Bug fixes:
    • Computers recover from sleep mode were unable to connect to the Cato Cloud
    • For Windows Clients with Never-Off enabled and behind a Socket, the user couldn’t use Office Mode to connect
    • Sometimes the Client didn’t reconnect when moving between different networks, such as cellular to WiFi
    • After the MFA session expires, the OS browser didn’t open the authentication page

Security Updates

• Cato Cloud Updated for BOD 22-01 CISA Security Recommendations: Cato continuously monitors the CISA guidelines and recommendations, including the recently released Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01.
