In a year full of cuts and belt-tightening, one firm stands out: Cato Networks just pulled in $359 million in new funds.
That’s one of the largest cybersecurity investments we’ve seen in 2025 so far—and it’s a clear green light for hiring across IT, infrastructure, and technical support roles. For employers and hiring teams, this isn’t just startup news. It’s a signal that cybersecurity and network tech are heating up fast—and that skilled talent will soon become even more in demand.
At Remms Recruitment, we see moves like this as opportunities. And this one is worth paying close attention to.
Why This Raise Matters
Cato Networks, an Israeli-based cybersecurity company with a growing U.S. presence, specializes in secure access service edge (SASE)—a critical tool for businesses navigating hybrid work and increasing cyber threats.
This $359M round brings its total funding to over $750 million, putting it on the fast track toward IPO status. With that kind of capital, the next steps are predictable: aggressive hiring, product expansion, and deeper market penetration—especially in the U.S.
That means more job postings, more competition for cybersecurity talent, and more movement in adjacent fields like:
- Network engineering
- Cloud security
- DevOps & IT compliance
- Tech sales and customer success
What This Means for Hiring Teams
If you’re hiring in IT, tech infrastructure, or anything adjacent to cybersecurity, this kind of funding round should get your attention. Why? Because companies like Cato don’t just absorb talent—they start bidding wars for it.
This creates both a challenge and an opportunity:
- Challenge: Salaries and expectations in cybersecurity roles may climb as companies like Cato scale.
- Opportunity: Many professionals will start re-evaluating where they work—opening the door for strategic hires.
And it’s not just Cato. When one company raises big, it often sets off a domino effect. Competitors adjust, startups ramp up hiring, and the entire category becomes more active.
How to Stay Ahead of the Surge
Here’s how hiring teams can stay proactive:
- Get ahead of salary shifts by reviewing your compensation ranges now
- Start building a cybersecurity talent pipeline—even if you’re not hiring today
- Look beyond cybersecurity—many roles in marketing, finance, and admin are also about to open in fast-scaling companies like Cato
