% SECaaS

Companies are moving into the cloud environment, but at the beginning, the general feeling was that virtual infrastructures was not safe as the private ones, this is due to losing the direct control over their facilities and data.
Like all new technologies, also Cloud Computing has his \textit{threads}, but if it is designated appropriately it causes no more than traditional environment does.

Cloud providers have started to offer another functionality \textit{``as a Service''} for their customers called \textit{Security as a Service} (SECaaS). This is a package of security functions that gives the possibility to the clients to no more concern about security issues and it moves the responsibility from the enterprise to the service provider.

It has the the same features of any others services provided in that way, so it is always available with a fast provisioning, it is a cost-saving solution because it fits well the \textit{pay-per-use} approach and the provider is responsible instead of the enterprise.

Cloud provider offers different types of security services for its clients, which could be summed up into the following categories:

\begin{itemize}
	\item 
	web security
	\item
