Servers hosting SDN controllers must have an HIDS implemented to detect unauthorized changes.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The SDN controller is the backbone of the SDN infrastructure. If the server hosting the SDN controller is breached or if unauthorized changes are made to the device, the SDN controller may not have the appropriate resources to function properly or may even be disabled.
