Provision of Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) in Lightweight Scenarios

The Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) landscape is nowadays crippled by cybersecurity threats and criminal attacks. Despite being a critical asset of any country's economy, cybersecurity protection of the SMEs is often overlooked due to lack or both financial and human resources and knowledge in the field. To this end, this paper reports on the authors' development in the H2020-EU project called "Practical Autonomous Cyberhealth for resilient SMEs & Microenterprises" (PALANTIR). It intends to offer protection and security to SMEs and Micro Enterprises (MEs) with the implementation of multiple Security Capabilities (SCs), composed of Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) solutions to protect them with monitoring and reacting duties. This paper provides a first approach of the design and implementation of the SCs designed to provide affordable SecaaS, taking into account the current status of the development.
