Detection and Prevention from DDoS Attack Using Software-Defined Security

摘要

The network which is able to accommodate today's real-time need is growing in a very fast manner. But simultaneously also occurs an increase in the rate of network attacks and threats. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is one of the attacks in which intruder attempts to disrupt normal network traffic by flooding huge traffic into the network and ultimately halt the network services and resources. There are numerous solutions available for the detection and prevention of DDoS attacks in traditional networks but making use of Software-Defined Security (SDS) is a new way of securing the network. The basic principle of separating the intelligence of the network from the infrastructure can be considered as the new hope for securing the network. This chapter aims to provide the need for SDS in networks with related literature survey we have also found out the research gaps from research done till now or going on. A method to prevent a network from DDoS attacks is also proposed using SDS.
