## Abstract

A user terminal using cloud service, an integrated security management server for the user terminal, and an integrated security management method for the user terminal. The integrated security management method includes receiving, by an integrated security management server, authentication information from at least one user terminal that use a cloud service, authenticating, by the integrated security management server, the user terminal using the authentication information, transmitting, by the integrated security management server, task information to the user terminal so as to control the user terminal, receiving, by the integrated security management server, at least one of a result of processing the task information and state information from the user terminal that verifies the task information, and managing, by the integrated security management server, a state of the user terminal based on at least one of the result of processing and the state information.
