BWT Alpine F1 Team and Cato Networks announced multi-year partnership

BWT Alpine Formula One Team have announced a multi-year partnership with Cato Networks, an Israeli network security company.

As per the agreement, which kicks off next year, Cato will act as the official SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) partner of the French outfit. Its branding will thus feature on the Alpine race cars as well as other team assets.

Guy Martin, BWT Alpine F1 Team’s Global Marketing Director, said:

“We welcome Cato Networks to BWT Alpine Formula One Team as our exclusive SASE Partner. 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.”

Idan Hershkovich, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Cato Networks, added:

“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. 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.”
