What is Cyber Security as a Service (CSaaS)?

What is Cyber Security as a Service?

You know you need cybersecurity services to protect your network, but how can you ensure you’re getting solid, customized services that meet your business’s specific needs? Cyber Security as a Service is a reliable way to prevent hackers from hurting your IT infrastructure. Let’s look at what CSaaS involves and how it can improve your business’s security measures and IT processes.

What Does CSaaS Include?

CSaaS includes a range of services designed to mitigate your network’s security risks and improve your security measures and threat intelligence. For example, this service can include 24/7 real-time threat monitoring that prevents all kinds of cyber threats, including ransomware, from breaching your system. CSaaS can also include integrating security measures as you migrate your network to the cloud or adding new security measures to your existing cloud environments.

Overall, CSaaS is about being able to use different cyber security services any time your network needs them. Like any XaaS solution, you pay a monthly fee to access CSaaS, and your managed service provider (MSP) uses only the services your network needs to keep it protected. As your network’s needs change, your MSP can scale and change the cyber security services it provides.

 

How Can Csaas Benefit Small Businesses?

CSaaS benefits small businesses by offering them top-quality cyber security services at affordable monthly rates. Small business owners often skimp on their IT network and infrastructure’s security in an attempt to save money, but this usually ends up hurting them in the long run. Nowadays, hackers tend to target small businesses because they know there will be fewer security measures to work with, so the information is easier to access and take advantage of. If you don’t have any cyber security measures in place, you could find yourself on the receiving end of a ransomware attack. But if you decide to invest in your cyber security through CSaaS, you can easily avoid those types of attacks.

 
 

How Can A RansomwAre Attack Hurt Your Business?

Let’s look at how a ransomware attack can hurt your business. Encryption ransomware is one of the most common types of ransomware, and it uses military-grade encryption algorithms to encrypt files and data in your operating system and every other part of your network so you can’t access them. Once the ransomware attacks your network, it leaves a ransom note on your screen, usually saying that you won’t have network access until the ransom is paid. Once you pay the ransom, the hacker provides a decryption key that gives you network access. However, you’ll have lost hundreds or thousands of dollars in this ransomware attack, so it’s best to use CSaaS to implement security measures that prevent this type of attack from happening in the first place.

How Else Can CSaaS Protect Your IT Network?

CSaaS can protect your network and IT infrastructure through many other services, including penetration testing. Penetration testing, as the name implies, uses white hat hacking and other cyber security methods to determine where your network’s vulnerabilities lie. Once your MSP performs those pen tests for you, you can work with them to figure out which cyber security strategies and methods you should employ to reduce or eliminate those vulnerabilities. Ultimately, CSaaS gives you access to penetration tests and other security measures so you can protect your network while staying within your business’s IT budget.
