Stanford Seminar - Security and the Software Defined Network

Explore the intersection of security and Software Defined Networks (SDN) in this Stanford seminar. Delve into classic network perimeter defense and network threat analysis before examining how SDN enhances security through sophisticated flow orchestration. Investigate the security challenges that arise when software defines network flow policy, and learn about network policy conflict arbitration. Tackle an example SDN challenge and cover essential security concepts. Discuss the consolidation of southbound interfaces, authentication identification, and hierarchical authorization roles for app credentials. Examine the Application Mediation Service and gain insight into the intuition behind RCA. Learn about security audits, Rosemary, and Security-Mode ONOS Extensions. Explore centralized security policy management with decentralized enforcement in SM-ONOS, and understand the Security Actuator Package. Investigate OF-BotHunter, modern challenges in honeynets, and FlowBoss. Address peripherals and international call limitations from workstations, concluding with real-world examples and key takeaways in network security and SDN implementation.
