Is SDN your next security nightmare? San Francisco -- The big buzzword in networking these days is Software-Defined Networking (SDN), a de-coupling of the data plane and the control plane that allows you to manage physical devices via a software-based controller sitting on a general purpose server.
There are numerous benefits associated with SDN. Instead of having to touch every switch and router, the controller enforces policies by using the OpenFlow standard to talk to the physical networking devices. Also, customers can theoretically use any OpenFlow enabled hardware, meaning you no longer have to buy all of your networking gear from the same vendor. But before you jump into SDN, be aware that there might be some security risks. That’s the view of Robert Hinden, an industry veteran and Check Point Fellow, who spoke this week at the RSA Conference.
