Abstract Software Defined Network (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology promote several
benefits to network operators, including reduced maintenance costs, increased network operational performance,
simplified network lifecycle, and policies management. Network vulnerabilities try to modify services provided
by Network Function Virtualization MANagement and Orchestration (NFV MANO), and malicious attacks in
different scenarios disrupt the NFV Orchestrator (NFVO) and Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM) lifecycle
management related to network services or individual Virtualized Network Function (VNF). This paper proposes
an anomaly detection mechanism that monitors threats in NFV MANO and manages promptly and adaptively to
implement and handle security functions in order… More >
