With the emerging use of Software Defined Network that uses an agile and centralized system for a network, the risk and security issues emerges as well. The issues which threatens the security of the network could cause disclosure private information and conservation in an enterprise. These security issues involves around the development to secure the SDN controller of the network, to ensure that any attacks or any unauthorized access are able to apprehend at the earliest stage. By exposing the SDN main controller network with various simulated scenario like a virus attack, a program is written to ensure that the implementation of the attack from an attacker could be put to stop. An by securing the connection between the main controller and northbound administration with the use of certain algorithm hashing protocol, it would further increase the security of the command line in the whole network. As time passes, the SDN network will gained a knowledge repository of threats information from the administrator, to ensure that any command information flow does not have a feature that threatens the network.
