Gartner thinks security will soon to be addressed as a service itself, starting with identity as a service (IDaaS – a class of software too new to have a Wikipedia page). There still seem to be a lot of gaps to fill before an organization can provide cloud applications to its users with the kind of transparency they have when working on systems hosted in-house; but dependable security services under the control of the service subscriber will certainly help us get there.
