Trust as a Service

The As a Service Business Model - A New Way to Consume Cybersecurity

Today’s digital landscape is undergoing various disruptive changes and organizations are faced with multiple challenges in digital security. This naturally calls for new ways of consuming cybersecurity offerings. In addition to traditional on-premises setups, a wide range of deployment options have developed over the past few years. Fully managed as-a-service offerings are now at the forefront of the cybersecurity landscape.

Taking their cybersecurity into the cloud can especially make sense to organizations that are navigating huge changes within the digital and labor landscape, as well as changing compliance and legal requirements. Utilizing cloud-enabled Cybersecurity as a Service offerings is a paradigm shift that promises the full functionality and control of on-premises security without the associated hardware costs and maintenance efforts. 

Unlike Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), as well as Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings, a fully managed as a Service offering goes beyond merely providing access to hardware or virtualization and middleware, for example. It releases the customer from all workloads up to the application level, enabling them to benefit from the fully managed setup of readily usable cybersecurity solutions, also ensuring compliance, comprehensive security measures, and seamless integration into existing business processes.

What is Cybersecurity as a Service?

Cybersecurity as a Service represents a fully managed approach to security. It combines the comprehensive control and functionality of traditional on-premises systems with the convenience and cost-effectiveness of cloud-based solutions. By eliminating the need for physical hardware and the associated setup and maintenance costs, businesses can maintain the same high level of security while enjoying greater operational flexibility.

Current challenges and the rise of Cybersecurity as a Service

This move to Cybersecurity as a Service is driven by several factors. 

First, as the digital landscape evolves, businesses face new challenges that necessitate advanced cybersecurity solutions. The sheer increase in digital data and the growing adoption of cloud-based services require security measures that can scale and adapt quickly. The fact that many organizations’ applications are running in the cloud means that they too need to be secured. Industry regulations demand compliance with stringent security standards, and the threat landscape is continuously evolving, with new and more sophisticated threats emerging regularly.

Importantly, the labor landscape has undergone significant changes and is another critical factor. The demand for skilled experts far outstrips supply, leading to increased costs and making it difficult for businesses to maintain adequate in-house security resources. Moreover, the workload in cybersecurity is often inconsistent, with periods of intense activity followed by lulls, making it challenging to optimize staffing levels. Cybersecurity as a Service addresses these issues by providing access to experienced professionals and advanced security technologies on demand.

The Advantages of Cybersecurity as a Service

Migrating from on-premises security systems to Cybersecurity as a Service can offer significant advantages, depending on an organization’s unique situation. 

  • One of the most compelling benefits is the reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO). By eliminating the need for on-site hardware and associated expenses, businesses can achieve substantial cost savings. 
  • Additionally, Cybersecurity as a Service reduces the need for dedicated security personnel, further lowering operational costs.
  • Flexibility is another major advantage. The ability to scale security solutions up or down based on current needs allows businesses to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Accessibility is also a critical factor in modern cybersecurity. Cybersecurity as a Service ensures that security measures are always available and up-to-date, without the need for constant oversight and maintenance. 
  • This accessibility extends to compliance as well, with TaaS offerings designed to meet stringent regulatory requirements as they are backed up by high security physical setups.
  • Finally, it enables organizations to implement robust security measures, including physical and logical security controls, tamper-resistance, and compliance with stringent security certifications. Providers of cybersecurity as a Service often undergo rigorous compliance assessments and certifications, enabling their clients to satisfy their own regulatory obligations.
