ABSTRACT

Software as a service (SaaS) is rapidly emerging as the dominant delivery model for meeting the needs of enterprise IT services. However, most enterprises are still uncomfortable with the SaaS model due to lack of visibility about the way their data is stored and secured. According to the Forrester study, “e State of Enterprise Software: 2009,” security concerns are the most commonly cited reason why enterprises aren’t interested in SaaS. Consequently, addressing enterprise security concerns has emerged as the biggest challenge for the adoption of SaaS applications.
