Abstract

Cloud computing is a great target for many applications since it provides the storage and computation needs for cloud users with relatively low-cost. Although the area of cloud computing has grown rapidly in the last few years, the area still lacks appropriate security measures that protect the data and/or applications for cloud users. We introduce a new architecture, namely Security as a Service (SECaaS) that addresses the security issues for cloud-based applications. SECaaS deals with existing services of cloud computing on its different levels. SECaaS takes a user-centric approach, in which cloud users have more control over their security. It provides security means for both cloud users and providers.
