What is true of Software Defined Network firewalls?

SDN firewall policies can be applied to diverse and dissimilar asset groups because they operate on logical identifiers and tags rather than physical network location or asset type.

SDN firewalls do not require static IP addresses because policy enforcement is based on software-defined identifiers and workload attributes, not fixed IP-based rules.

SDN firewalls are generally easier to manage than traditional hardware firewalls because policy changes are applied centrally through a controller without requiring physical reconfiguration.

SDN firewalls are specifically designed to overcome physical topology constraints, so being limited by physical topology is the opposite of their defining characteristic.

SDN firewalls are not limited by physical topology because they are implemented as software policies within a software-defined networking layer, allowing security rules to follow workloads wherever they are instantiated in the infrastructure. Policies attach to logical identifiers such as tags or groups rather than physical ports or IP subnets, enabling consistent enforcement regardless of physical placement.
