What is security software-as-a-service?
Security SaaS helps you achieve all your desired security outcomes — stopping threats, proving compliance, growing your business — all with the agility and affordability of the cloud. With Security-as-a-service (SECaaS), the vendor takes on the heavy lifting and infrastructure. That means you are free to convert that old server room into functional workspace for your growing business, while knowing you are taking action to prevent cyberattacks.
Why go with security SaaS instead of traditional, on-premises security?
Faster time to value
SECaaS solutions typically have significantly reduced implementation time, which means your assets are protected sooner and you start realizing the value faster.
Lighten your infrastructure
Cloud-based solutions lighten the load of securing your business by reducing the infrastructure you need. Your cybersecurity vendor owns the servers and storage and takes on the costs of maintaining them.
Innovation, agility and speed
The threat landscape changes daily – which means you want the latest and greatest cybersecurity as soon as it’s available. With SECaaS, updates are pushed continuously, versus traditional IT solutions which are typically updated a few times a year.
From CapEx to OpEx
Security SaaS models typically have lower upfront costs, with ongoing costs more directly tied to usage and desired outcomes. You’re not paying for what you’re not using, which means more of your funds can be invested in growing your business.
Combat the skills shortage
With SECaaS, your cybersecurity vendor takes on the burden of maintenance and updates, so you can focus your staff on strategic IT.
“ It only took about a week before we had the system up and running… cloud deployment makes it easy for us to manage and scale up or down. ”
