    Study Notes

    SDN Security Threats and Countermeasures

    • One vulnerable point in SDN security is the controller, which can be exploited by unauthorized users and applications.
    • Gaining control of an application authenticated to the control plane can lead to significant potential impact, including data breaches and network compromise.

    Countering Threats in SDN Security

    • The two aspects of countering threats in SDN security are:
      • Authentication and authorization to prevent unauthorized access to the controller
      • Encryption and access control to protect communication between applications and the controller

    Focusing on Secure Communication

    • The main focus of SDN security in countering threats involving communication between applications and the controller is on ensuring secure communication channels.

    Threats and Vulnerabilities

    • The primary threat facing an authenticated application in SDN security is unauthorized access to the controller.
    • The first aspect of countering threats in SDN security is authentication and authorization.
    • The second aspect of countering threats in SDN security is encryption and access control.
    • The primary aspect of SDN security threats is the controller's vulnerability to unauthorized access.
    • The weak point in SDN security is the controller's vulnerability to exploitation by unauthorized users and applications.
