SDN/NFV Security Challenges and Proposed Architecture

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) have revolutionized network management and service delivery. However, their dynamic and virtualized nature introduces new security challenges. In this scientific article, we propose a comprehensive security architecture that combines both SDN and NFV to address the evolving threat landscape. We discuss key security considerations, architectural components, and highlight the importance of integrating security measures at each layer. The proposed architecture aims to provide a robust security framework for SDN and NFV deployments, enhancing network resilience and protecting critical assets.
