Explore the integration of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) with Snort and its dependencies for building robust Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (NIDPS) in this conference talk from Nullcon Goa 2022. Delve into how SDN can be leveraged to create custom security products for defending against DDoS attacks and programming network traffic. Learn about the potential of this technology to mitigate offensive attacks that bypass typical Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), regardless of vendor or OEM. Gain insights into the implementation of Software-Defined Snort with Barnyard and Pulled Pork, and understand their roles in enhancing network security infrastructure.
