New Features and Enhancements
Reminder - New Default Cato Certificate for TLS Inspection: Following the announcement on November 11, 2024, the default Cato certificate used by the TLS Inspection policy and Threat Prevention engines expires on October 29, 2025. You must complete the migration process before the current certificate expires.
You can download the new certificate from the Security > Certificate Management page, and then distribute it to your organization
After October 29, 2025, customers who haven’t migrated to the new certificate will experience the following issues:
TLS Inspection won’t function properly
The Threat Prevention services won’t be able to inspect traffic encrypted with TLS
Users may experience issues accessing the Internet and SaaS apps (HTTPS websites)
