Enhancing Network Security in Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Challenges, Threats, and Solutions

This thesis investigates the urgent necessity for improving network security within Software-Defined Networking (SDN), a revolutionary technology in modern network administration. With organizations increasingly adopting SDN, novel security challenges have surfaced, demanding a comprehensive understanding of possible threats and effective solutions. I analyze the distinct security issues encountered by SDN architecture, including vulnerabilities that arise from the separation of the control and data planes. Additionally, I examine specific threats like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and man-in-the-middle attacks, which threaten network integrity. I then introduce
