Security Advantages of Software-Defined Networking
Current practices using wide-area routing over Internet infrastructure decentralize the control of how information is transferred. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) centralizes network control functions, offering more holistic network security management and allowing for dynamic divisioning, multivendor end-to-end security and reduced dependence on the traditional perimeter approach.
