Definition
SECaaS (Security as a Service) is a cloud-based model that provides security services on a subscription basis. It includes various security services such as encryption, firewalls, antivirus, identity and access management, and intrusion detection and prevention systems.
This model is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses lacking the resources to hire dedicated staff or create and maintain their own security infrastructure. It helps businesses to enjoy the latest security technology and expertise from security professionals without the upfront cost and maintenance of traditional security solutions.
How Does SECaaS Work?

- Choose the service: Pick the security service you need, such as encryption, firewall, intrusion detection, etc.
- Customizing: Work with the SECaaS to customize the service according to your needs.
- Deployment: After customizing the service, the SECaaS provider will launch it to the cloud.
- Monitoring: The provider should monitor and maintain the security service.
