Edge SDN

edge sdn is the first software defined lan that uses standard network sdn switches to create a zero-trust security shield to prevent malicious activities by leveraging hosts isolation, micro-segmentation, and deep traffic control to reach the goal of avoiding issues as they arise. the security shield of created by the sdn switches: • prevents a compromised host from compromising others • allows the use of a resource even if it is compromised • the level of security is assured and independent from the actions of users and operators how edge sdn works. the network is composed by the central management console that controls standard open flow switches. the central management console allows the creation of security profile for each device with 3 main functionalities 1) host isolation: each host is isolated from the rest of the network. so, if a host tries to scan the network it would not be able to detect any other host, as if itis the only one connected to the network 2) micro-segmentatio
