Which two advantages in security controls are provided by software-defined networks (SDN) over traditional network security solutions? (Choose two.)

• offer more security features than hardware firewalls
• easier insertion into the traffic path
• apply to assets based on more flexible criteria than hardware firewalls
• easier network isolation without constraints of physical hardware
• higher performance than hardware firewalls

Explanation: Software-defined networks (SDN) enable new types of security controls and provide an overall gain for network security including:

• easy network isolation without the constraints of physical hardware
• SDN firewalls (security groups in cloud computing) apply to assets based on more flexible criteria than hardware firewalls
