Security as a Service: Revolution or Evolution?

www.dmreview.com

The software as a service (SaaS) delivery model has taken hold in various segments of the enterprise software market, most notably in the customer relationship management (CRM) sector. Champions of the SaaS model, like Salesforce.com, have proven the viability of an on-demand solution and demonstrated a compelling ROI to customers. With SaaS, companies in the spotlight and with high-bandwidth pipes all but ubiquitous in the corporate environment, it seems logical that the SaaS model would be increasingly prevalent in other segments of the enterprise market, such as security. SaaS-oriented HR, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and CRM vendors have allayed many of the initial concerns of a hosted delivery model including data security and availability, integration and customization, yet for certain software sectors, the SaaS model may take a different evolutionary path. The security market exemplifies a sector in which traditional desktop deployments, hosted applications, outsourced solutions and true multitenant SaaS are manifesting themselves in a variety of combinations to meet the unique needs of clients.
