Does SDN Mean Security Defined Networking

This course covers the following learning outcomes and goals: understanding the concept of Security Defined Networking (SDN), exploring the evolution of SDN architectures, identifying modern IT requirements driving SDN adoption, learning about various SDN applications such as DMZ/inline service chaining, public/private cloud interconnect, data center NFV/service insertion, event-triggered monitoring, REST API-driven programmatic policy creation, and micro-segmentation. The course teaches individual skills and tools including SDN architecture principles, IT security concepts, cloud networking, NFV (Network Function Virtualization), service insertion techniques, event monitoring, REST API programming, and network segmentation strategies. The teaching method of the course involves video lectures from a security conference, providing insights and practical examples related to SDN and its applications. The intended audience for this course includes IT professionals, network engineers, cybersecurity specialists, and individuals interested in understanding the intersection of networking and security in modern IT environments.
