| Abstract | With the new coronavirus crisis, medical devices' workload has increased dramatically, leaving them growingly vulnerable to security threats and in need of a comprehensive solution. In this work, we take advantage of the flexible and highly manageable nature of Software Defined Networks (SDN) to design a thoroughgoing security framework that covers a health organization's various security requirements. Our solution comes to be an advanced SDN firewall that solves the issues facing traditional firewalls. It enables the partitioning of the organization's network and the enforcement of different filtering and monitoring behaviors on each partition depending on security conditions. We pursued the network's efficient and dynamic security management with the least human intervention in designing our model which makes it generally qualified to use in networks with different security requirements. |
