From friction to flow: Why Swissport scrapped its VPN maze for Cato’s SASE platform


Swissport ditches legacy tech, deploying a global, Zero Trust SASE architecture with Cato Networks securing 26,000 users, unlocking real-time control.

As the world’s largest provider of ground and cargo handling services in the aviation industry, a core part of how Swissport excels for its customers is connecting and securing its global IT operations. Swissport’s legacy systems were a patchwork of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) links, region-specific VPNs and isolated firewalls, each created at different times and all delivering inconsistent policy enforcement and constant friction. Now, all traffic, from airport terminals to cloud SaaS applications, is streamed into a single data lake that supports continuous, role-based access control (RBAC) and threat analytics.
