Securing Modern Network Architectures with Software Defined Networking

It is envisioned that future networks, in order to provide higher performance and better quality of services to users, will use a mixture of many different technologies and protocols. In such heterogeneous networks security becomes a crucial aspect to consider as each added technology contributes to the variety and complexity of potential security threats. In order to improve this situation, in this work-inprogress paper we describe a dedicated SDN-based security framework for the Internet of Radio Light system and we present initial experimental results related to its efficacy.
