What is Security as a Service (SECaaS)?
Security as a Service (SECaaS) is a business model that allows providers to offer cloud-based services to consumers, usually through a subscription service model, similar to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). In this situation, however, those services would be focused on cybersecurity to protect the customer's networks and information systems from intrusion attempts.
As Gartner pointed out in a 2019 report, The Future of Network Security Is in the Cloud, “The enterprise data center is no longer the center of access requirements for users and devices.” The report goes on to say that the networking and security model has effectively been turned upside-down from the time it was developed, a time when all users were on the network and all applications were housed in the secure data center.
Benefits of Security as a Service (SECaaS)
Security as a Service (SECaaS) has some justifiable advantages for small and medium-sized organizations (SMBs). SMBs may not have the financial resources to invest in the security gear, software, and skilled security personnel needed to keep up with today's ever-increasing security demands.
- Increased Security: Your SECaaS provider will utilize the latest security equipment (both physical and virtual) and respond to security threats 24/7/365.
- Cost Reduction: To lower the total cost of ownership for your security platform, SECaaS eliminates capital expenditure and instead relies on a subscription or Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model.
- Save Time: SECaaS reduces the time your team has to spend safeguarding your network and delivering regular security upgrades and monitoring.
- Simplification: Network security and security management become just another service you pay for, like electricity or gas.
- Faster Threat Response: It's 4 a.m., and your network has been compromised. Would you be notified right away and able to stop the assault with your present security solution? SECaaS suppliers monitor and alert 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
- Latest Technology: Your SECaaS supplier will employ the most cutting-edge large-scale security technologies available, which you may not be able to afford.
- Latest Updates: SECaaS ensures the latest security patches are applied to all protected devices as they become available.
- Outsource Costly Skills: Highly skilled network security experts are costly, SECaaS grants you access to these experts without having them on your payroll.

Security as a Service (SECaaS) Features
Installing a firewall or two at the network's edge, and applying a security policy is no longer enough to ensure network security. As cybercriminals get cleverer, it is becoming significantly more complicated.
To deliver security 'in-depth,' your SECaaS provider will employ the Security as a Service concept. This concept encompasses a wide range of security capabilities (detailed below) in a tiered collaborative manner.
Security Operations Center (SOC)
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is a structure that contains an information security team that is in charge of continuously monitoring and assessing an organization's security posture. The purpose of the SOC team is to use a combination of technical solutions and a robust set of processes to detect, evaluate, and respond to cybersecurity problems. Security analysts, engineers, and managers who oversee security operations are usually found in security operations centers. Staff from the SOC collaborate closely with organizational incident response teams to ensure that security vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as they are discovered.

Intrusion detection and prevention
The act of continuously monitoring and analyzing network events for signals of potential incidents, violations, or threats to your security policy is known as intrusion detection. Intrusion prevention is the process of detecting intrusions and then terminating the instances that have been found.

Identity management and control
The discipline of managing access to business resources to keep systems and data safe is known as identity management and access control. It can assist in authenticating your users' identities before providing them the appropriate amount of access to workplace systems and information as a critical component of your security architecture.

Security information & event management (SIEM)
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a collection of tools and services that provide a comprehensive picture of an organization's information security. SIEM technologies give organizations real-time visibility into their information security systems. Data from a variety of sources are combined in event log management.

Continuous security monitoring
Continuous security monitoring is a sort of security solution that automates security monitoring across a variety of data sources. Continuous security monitoring systems provide organizations with real-time visibility into their security posture, continually scanning for cyberattacks, security misconfigurations, and other vulnerabilities.

Ongoing vulnerability scanning
Vulnerability scanning is the process of utilizing human scanners or automated scanning software tools to verify hosts and proactively detect known vulnerabilities, gaps, loopholes, and flaws in systems, websites, and online applications. Web Vulnerability Scanning is the first step toward effective vulnerability management as it enables you to establish a baseline for assessing your security risks.

Data encryption
Data encryption is the process of transforming readable data (plaintext) into an unreadable, encoded format (ciphertext). Data that has been encrypted can only be viewed or processed after it has been decrypted with the use of a decryption key or password. The decryption key should only be accessible to the data sender and receiver.

Email Security
Email security refers to the methods and strategies used to safeguard email accounts, information, and communication from unwanted access, loss, or compromise. Malware, spam, and phishing assaults are frequently disseminated over email. Attackers employ false communications to persuade users to divulge personal information, open attachments, or click on URLs that download malware to the victim's device. Attackers attempting to get a foothold in a corporate network and collect important company data frequently use email as an entry point.

Web Security
Web security, in general, refers to the preventive measures and procedures that businesses employ to defend themselves from hackers and dangers that utilize the internet. Web security is essential for business continuity and the protection of data, users, and businesses.

Local data security on Laptop, Mobiles, Tablets
Mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops, and notebook PCs) are widely used to access and store personal and institutional information, much like desktop computers. Mobile devices, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to Loss and theft than desktop computers due to their mobility.

Cloud and Edge data security
In collaboration with Perimeter 81, Cloud Edge Secure Access prevents unauthorized users from accessing and moving around the network, while providing trusted users access to the resources they require. It allows for easy and quick authentication of anybody, on any device, and from any place.

What Can SECaaS Protect Against?
Although it's critical to comprehend what Security as a Service (SECaaS) can defend you from (a short sample is provided below), it's equally critical to comprehend WHERE it will protect you.
Your data is now stored on local computers, mobile phones, tablets, and in the air due to WiFi and local servers, edge servers, and cloud services, and each of these platforms must be protected.
SECaaS will safeguard your local network devices, edge services, cloud services, WiFi, mobile phones, and tablets from an increasing number of threats including,
- Malware
- Ransomware
- Phishing
- Virus
- Denial of service (DoS)
- Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS)
- Man-in-the-middle
- Brute force attacks
