Security as a Service (SECaaS)

InterSAT announces the launch of its Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) solution, hosted on the cloud. This service provides public and private sector organisations with cybersecurity solutions. With the increasing threat of cyber attacks, it's crucial for businesses to have access to reliable and advanced security solutions.

With the introduction of the cloud, there is no aspect of your IT infrastructure that other people or businesses cannot handle for you. Rather than investing in developing their infrastructure or building, maintaining, and creating these resources, companies can more easily, quickly, and affordably meet their IT requirements.

Security as a Service, or SECaaS, is what we offer when outsourcing your IT infrastructure security to our cloud business. In today’s environment, companies can take advantage of cloud security managed services to ensure their infrastructure is secure without the need for in-house security resources. You won’t need to invest in personal, hardware, software, or other resources.

Security as a service (SECaaS) is the delivery of security technologies—traditionally found in enterprise data centers or regional gateways—as a cloud service. With SECaaS, a service provider delivers security solutions such as email security, identity and access management (IAM), endpoint security, incident response, and others through a subscription-based model rather than hardware.

What is Security as a Service (SECaaS)?

Security as a Service (SECaaS) enables companies to outsource their cyber security management as a service requirement. Outsourced data security solutions include anti-virus protection, intrusion detection, and data loss prevention. In addition, businesses can benefit from the expertise and innovation of a committed cyber security service team specializing in breach prevention in security as a service in a cloud computing environment by working with an SECaaS vendor.

Security as a Service provider eliminates the need for local delivery of data security solutions. Your IT department installs anti-virus, spam filtering, and other data security solutions on each computer, keeping the program up-to-date or instructing them to use it on the network security protection or server in your place of business.

Benefits of Security as a Service (SECaaS)

  • 1) Agility and Faster Provisioning

    One of the best aspects of as-a-service solutions is the ability to grant your users access to these tools immediately. In addition, SECaaS solutions are available on demand where and when you need them and may be scaled up or down as needed. That means there is no longer any ambiguity regarding deployment or upgrades because your SECaaS supplier will handle both for you and make it all apparent through a web-based dashboard.

  • 2) Enhanced Visibility

    Thanks to cloud security as a service, your business can see all its traffic, application security as a service being used, and any hacked IoT devices, threats, and policy violations being stopped—and much more—in real-time. An integrated cloud solution offers a centralized view of all activities across cyber security services, including firewall, sandbox, secure web gateway, advanced threat protection, data loss prevention, bandwidth control, and more.

  • 3) Less Vulnerability

    Attackers increasingly focus on mobile users and exploit mobile devices as a beachhead to assault business systems. Since bad actors today are aware that legacy security in the data centre cannot protect these users. Your network security protection is at risk if you can’t secure every link. Cloud security fills enterprise security holes created by off-net users and people connecting directly to cloud apps and the public internet.

  • 4) Free Up Resources

    When security provisions are managed externally, your IT teams may concentrate on what is critical to your company. SECaaS frees up resources and provides complete visibility through management dashboards. A group of outsourced security experts skilfully manages your cloud security as a service, assuring you of its effective management. You can also decide to delegate security procedure management to your IT staff. This will empower your IT teams to control security processes and manage all policy and system changes through a web interface.

  • 5) Cost Savings

    One of the main advantages of a security as a service approach is the ability of a firm to save money. A cloud-delivered service is frequently offered in subscription tiers with various upgrade possibilities. It allows a firm to pay for what it requires at the time. Additionally, expertise is optional.

  • 6) Access to Security Professionals

    When you utilize SECaaS, you get seasoned, qualified security experts instead of your in-house team, which may need more specialized knowledge or be overburdened with other tasks and unable to devote the necessary attention to cybersecurity.
