Abstract
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new attempt in addressing the existing challenges in the legacy network architecture, SDN is renowned due to its basic approach in managing the networks and its capability of programmability. In software-defined networks’ implementation, priority remains on high security. The advantage of SDN itself opens a wide ground in posing new security threats and challenges. Focusing on the security of the software-defined networks is a prime factor as it reflects on the growth of SDN technology implementation. This paper focused and designed with an introduction on software-defined networking, its architecture, the available security solutions for the network on the various existing security solutions available for software-defined networking, and the real challenge in securing the SDN networks providing the researchers a paved platform to work on further securing the networks, and finally it concludes with the requirements of security factors and schemes in SDN.
