The rapid development in telecommunication technologies in the last decade gave rise to a new set of sophisticated security threats. Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new network paradigm that isolates the network control plane from the data plane. This provides network programmability, which reduces operating costs and enables business growth. However, this new technology has several security threats, which is a major concern in its adaptation. This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the security issues of SDN and mitigation strategies.
