Protection Is Becoming a Challenge
Multiple reasons why security is a key concern
• Attackers: from script kiddies
to organized crime and
intelligence services
• Increased sophistication:
advanced persistent threats
(APT), bootkit-based threats
• Disruptive technologies:
control/data plane separation;
virtualization; open versus
proprietary

NFV: Opportunity or Threat to Network Security?
Managed security services is a $20 to $30bn market – KEEP THE BALANCE
• Immediate activation of
security safeguards
• Security analytics
• PaaS and security offload,
pooling of security expertise
• Application isolation, micro-
segmentation, central
control
• Image, patch management
Opportunities
• Larger attack surface, high-
value targets
• Higher system complexity
• Shared resources, common
hypervisor
• From proprietary to open
protocols
• Out-of-country processing
(compliance)
Challenges

OpenStack Security Controls
• Keystone authentication and token-based authorization
• TLS for accessing APIs
• SSH for VM management / system-level communication; SSH key injection with VM creation
• Multi-tenant capability
• Traffic isolation by VLANs, Linux name spaces, security groups (Neutron, Nova); port/tenant
based: address filter, firewall, NAT
• Availability zones
• Sanitization of released storage space

Challenges with OpenStack in a distributed compute environment
• OpenStack optimized for DC applications within security perimeter
• vCPE Use case: internal OpenStack interfaces connect over public networks
• End point in untrusted environment (CSP view)
• Present implementations do not provide comprehensive security controls*

Risk mitigation with OpenStack security controls
Security appliances such as IDS/IPS, firewalls but
also service assurance functions
Security additions to DPDK e.g. experimental Crypto
API (Release 2.2), keep alive signaling, new
performance management functions
Encryption per virtual connections and/or bulk encryption
Trusted platform module, hardware security modules for
secure boot, key integrity
Lower layer encryption becomes essential security control
