Reasons Why Security as a Service is a good investment

In the wake of increased cybercrime, there is an increased need to invest in good

security. Therefore, for businesses and other organizations to secure their business networks,

there is a need to use Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS). Indeed, Security-as-a-Service is an

excellent investment because it protects the network against new threats (AlSudiary, 2015).

The cyberattack strategies and the types of malware used by cybercriminals are continually

evolving, hence the need to invest in a good security solution. Besides, security is a collective

good because the investment deters the occurrence of threats that would have otherwise

jeopardized public or private data. As stated by Krahmann (2008), "security which is achieved

by preventing or diminishing a threat is a collective good because it is non-excludable and non-

rival.” This implies that Security-as-a-Service benefits beneficiaries from the positive impacts

of a diminished threat. Security-as-a-Service is a good investment because it facilitates

collective good by protecting new and existing business threats.

Security-as-a-Service is a good investment, particularly because it eliminates or lowers

the complexity levels in an organization. Security-as-a-Service is ideal for business owners and

government agencies alike because it facilitates “reduced computation complexity of public-

key algorithm with ECDSA” (AlSudiary, 2015). There are many items and components to

monitor during the entire process of setting up effective and credible cybersecurity for a

business entity. Missing any of the components or items can increase the business network's

susceptibility, making it to be compromised by cybercriminals. Even for a skilled security

provider/specialist, the setup process for effective network security tends to be complex and

costly at some point. "For many organizations, managed wireless security services take the

complexity out of securing and monitoring a network, and can dramatically reduce the overall

cost” (AirMagnet, 2009). For instance, in larger organizations, setting up cybersecurity

solutions incorporates significant complexities, and costs of setup and maintenance costs
