Title: Software-Defined Security
Abstract:
Network security functions have been usually realized as hardware devices to satisfy
their performance requirement. While these hardware based security devices are working
well in the current network environments, they are now asked to adapt themselves in some
new emerging network architectures, such as Software-defined Networking (SDN). In an
SDN environment, network devices (not network security devices) can conduct some basic
security functions with the help of their control applications. Moreover, with the
emergence of Network Function Virtualization (NFV), some pioneering researchers show
the possibility of replacing hardware based security devices with virtualized functions.
In this talk, I will present how SDN and NFV can be used in implementing new types of
security services, and I will also introduce some example scenarios supporting this claim.
