3 XaaS

Summary

Recommendation ITU-T X.1602 analyses the maturity levels of software as a service (SaaS) application and
proposes security requirements to provide a consistent and secure service execution environment for SaaS
applications. These proposed requirements originate from cloud service providers (CSP) and cloud service
partners (CSN) as they need a SaaS application environment to meet their demands on security. The
requirements are general and independent of any service or scenario specific model (e.g., web services, or
representational state transfer (REST)), assumptions or solutions.

Keywords
