Cloud services such as Amazon AWS enable product companies to run their applications using the resources provided on the cloud. In this era of services, scalability and mobility makes it easier to launch seamless products.
SECaaS
Security as a Service (SECaaS) is a cloud security model that manages your system and network security. An example of SECaaS is accessing and using a security scanner from anywhere through your browser.
SECaaS makes the traditional, local security solutions which were expensive, required individual installations on machines or networks, and frequent updates obsolete. SECaaS enables you to use these software and tools in the cloud, making it more cost-effective and hassle-free.

Benefits of SECaaS
-
Service provider automatically updates security software and tools
-
Faster provisioning by instant access to the required tools
-
Save on hardware and software licenses costs
-
Consistent and uniform protection
