Security as a Service: Transforming the Landscape of Security Management
Enterprise Management Associates, June 2010, Pages: 2
The challenges of IT security management have expanded substantially for organizations worldwide. Vulnerabilities and threats alike have exploded. Sophisticated exploits are becoming more difficult to control. Complex and often overlapping compliance requirements make security risks impossible to ignore. Budget pressures both internal and external make it difficult for security teams to find the resources they need to address these challenges—but in light of all these factors, they can ill afford to cut corners.
These issues raise a difficult question: How can today’s technology-centric business afford not only to maintain the investment in security technology and expertise needed to answer these challenges, but to expand capability to deal with increasingly serious threats—particularly when resources are already stretched to the limit?
For many, the answer to this question is increasingly found in security services. Four times more organizations plan to expand their use of Managed Security Services in the next 12 months than those who expect their use to decrease. 57% of those who use hosted security technology delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) expect their use of Security SaaS to grow in the coming year. Small- to medium-sized businesses in particular expect a significant increase in their use of Security SaaS by five-to-one over large enterprises.
These and other findings were the result of ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES research into the adoption of Managed Security Services and Security SaaS conducted in the first half of 2010. In this Advisory Note, EMA Research Director Scott Crawford highlights key findings from the full report, entitled Security as a Service, a study of the trends and drivers behind the move to IT security services among more than 200 large enterprises and SMBs worldwide.
