Cato Networks joins World Economic Forum’s Innovator Communities
Cato Networks said it will work with the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity on initiatives tied to cyber resilience, AI security and cybercrime.
Cato Networks said Sept. 8, 2026, that it has joined the World Economic Forum’s Innovator Communities and will participate through the Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity.
The company said the work will focus on cyber resilience, AI security and cybercrime. It said the effort will also extend to flagship initiatives including Cyber Resilience in Industries, the Partnership against Cybercrime and Cyber Frontiers: AI and Cyber.
Context and background
The World Economic Forum said its Centre for Cybersecurity is an independent and impartial platform focused on global public-private action on systemic cybersecurity challenges. The release also said the Forum was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit foundation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
The release described the Innovator Communities as bringing select founders and CEOs into cross-sector discussions on technology and business-model innovation. It said Cato is part of the Forum’s Unicorn community, a label for private hyper-growth companies valued at $1 billion or more.
Cato said its engagement will include global meetings, including the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2027 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.
What officials said
Shlomo Kramer, co-founder and CEO of Cato Networks, said AI is moving faster than any technology shift he has seen in more than three decades and said no one company can solve frontier AI challenges alone.
Akshay Joshi, head of the Centre for Cybersecurity at the World Economic Forum, said Cato Networks brings a valuable perspective from securing global enterprises at scale.
What happens next
The companies said Cato’s participation will continue through the Forum’s cybersecurity work and through upcoming global meetings, including Davos in 2027.
