CLOUD SECURITY ALLIANCE SecaaS | DEFINED CATEGORIES OF SERVICE <strong>2011</strong><br />
Welcome to the <strong>Cloud</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Alliance</strong>’s “<strong>Security</strong> as a <strong>Service</strong>,” Version 1.0. This is one <strong>of</strong><br />
many research deliverables CSA will release in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
There is currently a lot <strong>of</strong> work regarding the security <strong>of</strong> the cloud and data in the cloud, but<br />
until now there has been limited research into the provision <strong>of</strong> security services in an elastic<br />
cloud model that scales as the client requirements change. This paper is the initial output from<br />
research into how security can be provided as a service (SecaaS).<br />
Also, we encourage you to download and review our flagship research, “<strong>Security</strong> Guidance for<br />
Critical Areas <strong>of</strong> Focus in <strong>Cloud</strong> Computing,” which you can download at:<br />
