This book provides readers insights into cyber maneuvering or adaptive and intelligent cyber defense. It describes the required models and security supporting functions that enable the analysis of potential threats, detection of attacks, and implementation of countermeasures while expending attacker resources and preserving user experience. This book not only presents significant education-oriented content, but uses advanced content to reveal a blueprint for helping network security professionals design and implement a secure Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI) for cloud networking environments. These solutions are a less intrusive alternative to security countermeasures taken at the host level and offer centralized control of the distributed network.

The project of working on a book including both education and research content on security of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has been laid out since 2015, when the first author was awarded the National Science Foundation (NSF) research award on the Secure and Resilient Networking (SRN) project. Before the SRN award, significant effort was also put together by the Secure Networking and Computing (SNAC) research group at Arizona State University (ASU) in the area of computer network security.

The concepts, techniques, and strategies discussed in this book are ideal for students, educators, and security practitioners looking for a clear and concise text to avant-garde cyber security installations or simply to use as a reference.
