4 Introduction Information security and compliance officers face numerous challenges. Complexity may be the biggest. After all, every solution firewalls, antivirus software, spam prevention software, intrusion detection systems, back-up and recovery solutions, etc. must be implemented, updated, maintained, monitored and managed. And all of this takes place within an environment that changes at warp speed and is under constant assault from attackers continuously looking for and finding the next weak link. In short, the efforts of information security and compliance officers are akin to managed chaos. But Software as a Service (SaaS) has great potential to help create and maintain order in that chaos. Instead of relying on software offered via traditional premise-based licensing models, organizations can ease the complexities associated with information security and compliance with SaaS-based models. SaaS delivers services much in the same way utilities deliver water or electricity and lets companies subscribe only to those software applications they need, when they need them, paying only for what they use. SaaS leverages the Internet as the development and delivery platform and uses a payas-you-go subscription structure. Need to update the antivirus software on the scores of scattered desktops in your organization? A SaaS model makes doing this so much easier, and ensures all the antivirus software is installed and current. Need to add a new remote office or employee into your IT fold? SaaS makes it easier to ensure all the hardware, systems and applications are in compliance with your corporate information security standards, giving you less management headaches and uniform security policy enforcement. The number of organizations adopting SaaS is growing at a healthy clip. In fact, worldwide SaaS revenue within the enterprise application software market is forecast to hit $10.7 billion in 2011, up 16.2 percent from the expected $9.2 billion in SaaS holds a lot of promise in tackling and overcoming IT management chaos. In this paper, we ll discuss how SaaS is a cost-effective way to ease complexity while managing and even boosting the success of any organization s information security and compliance endeavors. Chaos Explained The origins of chaos theory a scientific principle describing the unpredictability of systems date back to well before computers and information systems. 2 According to an article on French mathematician Henri Poincaré ( ) left writings hinting at the unpredictability of systems; more than a half a century later Edward Lorenz (b. 1917) and a few other scientists were taking note of "odd behavior" in complex systems such as the earth's atmosphere and the human brain. The article goes on to say that today the primary tool for understanding chaos theory (and complexity theory as well) is the dynamic systems theory, which is used to describe processes that constantly change over time (e.g., the ups and downs of the stock market). Processes that constantly change over time does that sound like information security and compliance? Without any control, the answer to the above question is a resounding yes. But information security and compliance officers have worked hard over the years to leverage software and tools to exert control over the chaos. What s left, no doubt, is managed chaos. 1- Gartner report - "Forecast Analysis: Software as a Service, Worldwide,
5 Managed Chaos Inconsistencies in information security and compliance initiatives can be caused by a number of issues: Little or no control over software versions Mismanaged software licenses Security policies that are not uniform, consistent or vetted and agreed upon among both business leaders and technical staff Threats that change constantly and quickly, making it difficult to keep up Regulatory requirements that continue to evolve The number of regulatory agencies, business partners, customers, and others that require compliance reports continues to grow The fallout from all these issues, and resultant managed chaos, range from merely bothersome spam to virus attacks to even more sinister security breaches. The demands on information security and compliance professionals continue to escalate. According to a survey conducted by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) in 2010, threats are becoming more difficult to manage was the issue most frequently identified as a top security concern. 3 EMA points out that the increased complexity is taking its toll on an organization s costs, time and expertise. Many professionals wind up performing information security and compliance tasks manually, taking time away from more strategically valuable priorities. The SaaS Rewards At a high, very important level, SaaS promises to reduce the complexities associated with information security and compliance. SaaS reduces the complexity by outsourcing to the service providers themselves most of the infrastructure required to run software applications. 4 Therefore, in a SaaS implementation, the vendor takes care of the support, training, maintenance and security costs associated with managing the infrastructure in exchange for the recurring subscription fees. 5 Additionally, SaaS provides more automated and controlled software versioning. Because SaaS is an always-on service model that can deliver updates to software as needed, if new viruses require antivirus software updates, a SaaS model ensures that all the desktops supported by that service are updated even those that might be working from home or in a remote location. All of this makes for more coherent and seamless operation of the applications. Implementation and deployment times are reduced and simplified. The very nature of a SaaS offering that the software is owned and maintained by a third party means organizations can rid themselves of software ownership and all that comes with that ownership. When an on-premise application needs to be upgraded or completely replaced, the one-time costs associated with that can be extensive, and the disruption and time-to-implement can be very taxing to an IT department. Not so with SaaS Gartner report "Forecast Analysis: Software as a Service, Worldwide, " 2
6 Organizations can also more effectively and efficiently plan for and manage growth. According to the Software & Information Industry Association, SaaS applications grow with you as your business grows." 6 Organizations that leverage SaaS have quick access to a range of applications, there are no major software implementation efforts required, and the barriers to entry are lowered. Reporting requirements and management changes related to information security and compliance can all be managed through a single console. The SaaS model also provides more seamless and automated end-to-end processes for meeting an organization s demands of security, compliance, audit and risk management needs. Further, SaaS offerings typically provide extensive audit logs. Finally, complexity is eased because with SaaS, there are no software keys or licenses to manage or control. And when new employees come aboard, they can have immediate access to the software as new licenses don t have to be acquired or transferred. SaaS Creates and Reinforces Acceptable Use Policies As policies are defined, set, and preached, organizations need to implement security tools and services that are able to enforce those policies. SaaS offerings make it easier to enforce policies that meet the information security and compliance standards set by an organization via automated capabilities to enforce end user policies. For example, policies can be set to scan any executable programs that end users receive or download, and those policies can be enforced automatically, across an organization. SaaS models enable information security and compliance officers to apply different standards to different groups. In the above example, enforced scans can be set to occur daily to groups that often work remotely, or from home. For groups whose desktops rarely leave the office, scans can be set to occur once a week, for instance. When policies must change, SaaS models can easily adopt the changes. Information security and compliance officers can define and change the policies through an easy-to-use, Web-based policy management console. SaaS Aids in Risk Prevention These days, without , business can grind to a halt. So if a distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack or some other trouble brings your service down, it s vital to have a backup plan, and to have that backup plan be an established and well thought-out part of your overall business continuity plan. Many organizations run back-ups of servers, but the tasks can sometimes take second place to other, supposedly more strategic backup and recovery efforts. Databases and applications that are home to corporate financials, for example, are viewed as top-tier security responsibilities. But organizations underestimate just how important is (businesses can rarely function anymore without it), or how operations can potentially expose organizations to trouble. Moreover, billions of spam messages are sent each year, clogging inboxes, affecting productivity, and adding clean-up work to already burdened IT staff. SaaS offerings make continuity and security easier and more comprehensive. Continuous synchronization with an organization s primary system means that a standby system is up-to-date and ready to go at any time, should something happen. The synchronization also creates a secure archive of an 6-Software & Information Industry Association, "Software-as-a-Service: A Comprehensive Look at the Total Cost of Ownership of Software Applications", Prepared by the Software-as-a-Service Executive Council, September
7 organization s , should the need arise to recover for reporting or compliance purposes. SaaS-based filtering can substantially reduce spam infiltrations. SaaS Tackles Chaos The chaos theory does include elements of order in seemingly random, unpredictable systems, but organizations need more assurances than theory. They need highly functioning, secure IT systems that work as needed percent of the time. They need as close to bulletproof as they can get. SaaS offerings provide a level of certainty against unforeseen events. The ever-increasing complexities involved with information security and compliance are taxing organizations more and more. For some time, the stewards of security and compliance have worked among managed chaos. But security and policy inconsistencies as well as never-ending, more intelligent and more insidious attacks are threatening to bring down that managed chaos. SaaS offerings, with outsourcing aid, version control, quicker time to market, single console management and other benefits, promise to end chaos and help organizations run successful information security and compliance programs.
