SASE ("Sassy") and Cato Networks - has anyone used it or really understand how it works?

I've spent the last 15 minutes trying to understand how it actually works from their website which is just full of the usual marketing garbage ("velocity", "transformation", ad nauseam).

It looks like it's a few things:

1 - Distributed infrastructure on the internet so that it can provide services with lower latency (lower than "centralized vpn" that they seem to rail against).

2 - Web based portal, presumably distributed on this network, that a user can login to which provides their "identity" and then allows access to specific cloud based resources. I'm lost here, is this functioning as a simple forward proxy behind strong authentication?

3 - Traditional VPN client, presumably provided on their distributed network, that allows for access to services in the datacenter.

Am I even close to what's really going on with this? Has anyone worked with this or really understand how it functions?
