Taxonomic Modeling of Security Threats in Software Defined Networking

Explore a comprehensive taxonomic model of security threats in Software Defined Networking (SDN) in this 27-minute Black Hat conference talk. Delve into the three-dimensional classification of SDN threats, examining the source triggering vulnerabilities, affected SDN components, and threat events carrying out attacks. Understand the many-to-many relationships between threat sources, events, and vulnerability sources, revealing potential attack paths. Analyze concrete SDN attack examples targeting unauthorized access, information disclosure, modification, misuse, and service disruption. Gain valuable insights into SDN threat scenarios and receive practical security recommendations to combat these attacks. Learn how to narrow down relevant threats for specific environments and choose appropriate controls and countermeasures to enhance SDN security.
