Adaptive Monitoring and Management of Security Events with SDN

All along changing connectivity requirements and new technologies have increased the complexity and dynamism of distributed system, thus presenting tough challenges for the network management and the network security. As a result new ways for monitoring and managing of security events are required. We present a novel idea how to exploit the software defined networking (SDN) and the real-time network anomaly detection to an efficient whole that offers for an operator both, a view of the security state of the network and the ability to immediately react to the changed situation. We use the man-in-the- middle attack detection as an example.
