Security as a service (SECaaS) is a business model in which a service provider integrates their security services into a corporate infrastructure on a subscription basis more cost effectively than most individuals or corporations can provide on their own when the total cost of ownership is considered. SecaaS has great benefits for a small to medium size company, such as integrating security services without on-premises hardware or a huge budget. Continued protection as databases is constantly being updated to provide up-to-date security coverage. It also alleviates the issue of having separate infrastructures, instead of combining all elements into one manageable system. Greater security expertise than is typically available within an organization.
