A prudent inspection of the architecture, its physical and cerebral components reveal that Software Defined Networks security can be polished via the application of pre-existing network security solutions. These solutions include; public key cryptography, secured sessions (single sign-on services), firewalls, honeypots, mitigation of DDoS attacks via the use of various algorithmic methodologies etc. The implementation of a centrally authoritative controller (network orchestrator), independent with exceeding administrative authority over a cluster of slave controllers can exhume threats and block a hazardous slave controller. Most of these methodologies have been rigorously tested on the existing network technologies and are error proof. With the implementation of these policies and protocols SDNs will have a strong security suite to play with in the open web.
