Security and SDN - A Perfect Fit or Oil and Water?

Explore the intersection of security and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in this 52-minute conference talk by Ivan Pepelnjak at TROOPERS14. Delve into the Open Networking Foundation, faster provisioning, and the concept of brainless boxes in network architecture. Examine the three planes of networking, OpenFlow technology, and how it separates data and control planes. Learn about reactive flow setup, control plane protection, and switch hardening techniques. Discover real-life use cases for OpenFlow and scaling IDs appliances. Gain insights into whether SDN is a perfect fit or a challenging combination with security in modern network environments.
