Compared with the traditional stiff and decentralized security mechanisms, software-defined security SDS provides a flexible and centralized solution through extract security strategy from the hardware to the software. A variety of software-defined security architecture has been proposed, basically like SDN three layer, let the control layer separate from the data layer. Now, however, these software-defined security architectures proposed and implemented in the SDS ignored resource scheduling mechanism which can schedule security resources effectively and flexibility. This paper presents a resource scheduling mechanism in software-defined security, and a scheduling algorithm to achieve load balancing. Experiments show that the applied resource scheduling mechanism in our SDS architecture can work well in scheduling scanners in Physical Layer, and achieve the target of load balancing of scanners, can provide users with more flexible security services.
