BWT Alpine Formula One Team and Cato Networks, the SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) leader, are pleased to announce a new multi-year partnership that will commence for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship season.

As part of the partnership, Cato will be the official SASE partner for BWT Alpine Formula One Team and Cato branding will be represented on the A526, as well as on other assets in the team environment.

This collaboration unites two brands defined by innovation, speed, and performance on track and across IT infrastructure. As BWT Alpine Formula One Team competes in the pinnacle of motorsport, Cato delivers the same level of precision and agility to fuel the future of AI-driven enterprise security and networking.

“Cato Networks and BWT Alpine Formula One Team are two world-class brands that are bold, agile, and unafraid to rewrite the rules. BWT Alpine Formula One Team pushes the boundaries of what’s possible on the track, and Cato does the same with IT infrastructure through network and AI transformation,”

Said Idan Hershkovich, Cato Networks Senior Vice President of Marketing.

“We look forward to showcasing the Cato brand to a global F1 audience. We’ll be rooting for BWT Alpine Formula One Team on the track for the 2026 season and beyond.”

“We welcome Cato Networks to BWT Alpine Formula One Team as our exclusive SASE Partner,” said Guy Martin, BWT Alpine Formula One Team Global Marketing Director.

“Technology and innovation are at the core of racing, and we believe Cato gives our team the optimal all-in-one network and security platform we need to make every second count on race day. The 2026 season marks a technological reset for Formula One. Cato will play a key part for IT transformation, replacing legacy infrastructure with a unified, cloud-delivered platform for secure, high-performance networking. The shift is expected to assist both on the track and across the organisation.”
