TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cato Networks, the leader in SASE, today announced that Frank Rauch, Global Channel Chief, has been recognized as a recipient of two industry honors: "2024 Channels Chiefs: The 50 Most Influential" by CRN and "2024 Channel Influencer Award" by Channel Futures. These honors highlight Rauch's significant contributions and leadership in shaping the networking and security indirect sales channel over the past year.

Rauch stands among 50 individuals in both honors and is commended for his visionary leadership, strategic thinking, and innovative approaches to the channel ecosystem. CRN selects channel chief honorees based on their professional achievements, standing in the industry, dedication to the channel partner community, and strategies for driving channel growth and innovation. Channel Futures identifies leaders for their exceptional impact on the direction and transformation of the SASE industry through indirect sales channels.

"Frank Rauch's selection as a 2024 CRN Channel Chiefs and Channel Futures Channel Influencer is a testament to his remarkable leadership and the innovative strategies he has implemented at Cato Networks," said Alon Alter, Chief Business Officer of Cato Networks. "His dedication to the channel community and his impact on our partners' growth and success reflect the core values and vision of Cato Networks. We are thrilled to see Frank's contributions recognized by CRN and Channel Futures."

"I am deeply honored by this recognition by CRN and Channel Futures, though they speak much more to the strength of the Cato team and our growing partner community than to any individual," said Rauch. "These awards are a testament to our channel-first commitment and culture at Cato Networks. My gratitude extends to CRN and Channel Futures' editors and judges for this esteemed acknowledgment."

Before his tenure at Cato Networks, which began in January 2023, Rauch held pivotal roles across the technology and IT sectors, including Global Channel Chief at Check Point Software Technologies, and leadership positions at VMware, and HPE.
