  • Abstract
    In this paper the suitability of cloud-based security services (SECaaS) for critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP) is discussed. A background of cloud-based security services is provided. The suitability of these services for CIIP is discussed, and it is concluded that a mixed cloud and traditional solution is best. A model for providing cloud-based protection to critical infrastructure in this manner is proposed.
