Description: Security Function Virtualization (SFV) refers to the practice of implementing and managing security services in a virtualized environment, allowing security functions such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus to run as virtual applications rather than relying on dedicated physical hardware. This technique enhances the flexibility and scalability of security solutions, enabling organizations to quickly adapt to emerging threats and changes in network infrastructure. By virtualizing these functions, companies can reduce operational costs, simplify security management, and improve the efficiency of security policy implementation. Additionally, SFV allows for the integration of multiple security functions into a single platform, facilitating the orchestration and automation of security processes. In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, security function virtualization has become an essential strategy for protecting organizations’ networks and data, ensuring a rapid and effective response to security incidents.
