Enhancing Network Security: an SDN (Software Defined Networking) Method

Abstract

Today's IT infrastructure, featuring a mobile workforce, IoT apps, digital business transitions and the cloud, is developing at a rate that exceeds traditional technology approaches capabilities. Network security has proven insufficient and lacks the visibility, control and intelligence necessary to meet changing needs. SDN became a subject of interest for academia and industry to discuss the network on-demand relevant aspects of applying real time network policy. The article is an assessment the security situation and what to do to strengthen it. In this paper we introduced SDN-based approach functionality not available in traditional approaches to security. This show how the proposed security architecture can be used fortify the overall protection of today's network.
