like ping attack, TCP SYN attack, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), DHCP attack. Different security measures will be discussed through which the user can establish a secured network. These security measures will be implemented over SDN. 3.) Objectives: The main objective of this project is to enhance the security of a network using various modern day technologies. 1) The enhancement in the security of the network will mitigate the attacks like Denial of Service attacks. 2) It will also help in
processing online orders. While the web server was down, the company could not accept any new orders or allow their customers to view their products.

Logs Systems should require logging for access. This will create a list of users and events. Recording these events prevents anonymity. Enable logging for each client to detect changes in the system and to see who is using that system. Enable logging for each server to see which administrator has accessed the system and what changes have been made under their privileges. Enable logging for network devices to see which administrator made what changes on the network at any given time and under which
Question No 1: List the security advantages of cloud-based solutions? Following are the security advantages of cloud based solutions. a. Immediate deployment of software patch: Most of the cloud providers have team to deploy the patch installation so cloud based software may have shorter vulnerability. b. Extended human-relations reach: Cloud based solution providers able to keep better employees who will monitor the system software. They can increased the security such as reference checking
proliferate. Case in point, Symantec reported an ad on an underground discussion in 2010 advertising a botnet of 10,000 bots for US$ 15. This botnet may be utilized within a spam or rogueware attack, yet could additionally be utilized for a distributed denial of service attack.
