SDN and Security Module 1: An Introduction to Software Defined Network Security

The IEEE Software Defined Networks' eLearning Module "An Introduction to Software Defined Network Security" is the first of two modules and gives an overview of the subject with a quick reminder of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and on the Openflow protocol. Then, the session will provide an introduction to a policy model based security framework that is a great fit to SDN. This presentation will also feature the new risks that SDN introduces and how to mitigate those. And lastly, a recent security concept named Software Defined Security where SDN and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) meet.
