SDN Security Issue and Resolution

Himanshu Kumar, Prabhav Gupta

Abstract :

 Computer Networking has established itself as one of the convenient way of resource shå such that today businesses and organizations heavily rely on it to send information across communication points. However, the current adaption of networks is hard to evolve, manage and network design has not much to offer. In order to overcome the problems with traditional networking techniques, Software Defined Networking (SDN) was introduced as an emerging architecture that supports modern networking requirements and has a programmable approach to the network control. Since this way of networking has the potential to be widely adopted in the coming times, it becomes a point of interest for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to system assets. The objective of the article is to analyse significant vulnerabilities to SDN architecture and propose suitable security solutions for the model that can tackle the most, if not all security concerns through some pre–existing attack vectors, which poses a possible threat for the existing model. This article intends to guide on importance of virtualized environments and running of SDN along with Network Function Virtualization(NFV) infrastructure. In summary, new era in building networks and providing suitable security is upon us.
