System and method for securing virtualized networks
Abstract:
Systems and methods for securing a dynamic virtualized network are provided. According to one embodiment, a network policy of a dynamic virtualized network is received by an SDN controller of the dynamic virtualized network. The network policy includes network policy elements which each identify (i) an authorized endpoint, (ii) a network access device, and (iii) a port of the network access device with which the authorized endpoint is associated. A test network access device is selected from which test traffic is to be injected into the dynamic virtualized network. The test network access device is caused to inject the test traffic into the dynamic virtualized network. One or more errors in connection with handling of the test traffic by the dynamic virtualized network are identified by comparing a predicted result with the actual result of injection of the test traffic.
