Analysis of Cyber Security Solution: Security as a Services (SaaS) in Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

The researcher emphasized that Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) is an outsourcing model for security management in cloud computing environment. The researcher focused on the some of the significant research issues in cloud computing environment on cyber security. The Security as a Service (SaaS) involves applications such as anti-virus software, system securing attributes which are delivered over the internet on payment basis and services will be taken back once the contract are finished or terminated by the terms and conditions. The controlling mechanism of constant virus updates that are not reliant on user compliance. Greater security expertise that is typically available within an organization. A Web interface that allows in-house administration of some tasks as well as a view of the security environment and on-going activities. The researcher proposed a cloud model as applied to information security type services and does not require on-premises hardware, avoiding substantial capital outlays. These security as a services often include authentication, anti-virus, anti-malware/spyware, intrusion detection, and penetration testing and security event management, and among others phases in cloud computing environment. The researcher also emphasized that two real life case study on security as services in cloud computing environment and representing a statistical analysis report which is based on challenges of using cloud computing worldwide as of 2018.
