9 Security considerations
Security aspects for consideration within the cloud computing environment, including NaaS, are addressed
by security challenges for NaaS CSPs, as described in [ITU-T X.1601]. In particular, [ITU-T X.1601] analyses
security threats and challenges, and describes security capabilities that could mitigate these threats and meet
the security challenges.

The functional components for security systems defined in clause 9.2.5.2 of [ITU-T Y.3502] are applicable in
the context of the NaaS functional architecture. These components are responsible for applying security
related controls to mitigate the security threats in cloud computing environments and encompass all the
security facilities required to support cloud services of the NaaS cloud service category.
