TechNavio defines cloud security software as software that provides security to cloud-based services or cloud computing architectures. Cloud security software can be a standalone solution or a suite of products. It focuses on the security of key parameters such as compliance, governance, data protection, architecture, and identity and access. A typical cloud security solution offers features such as encryption, identity and access management (IAM), endpoint monitoring, vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection, and application and messaging security.
