The continued evolution in computer network technologies has seen the introduction of new paradigms like Software Defined Networking (SDN) which has altered many traditional networking principles in todays business environments. SDN has brought about unprecedented change to the way organisations plan, develop, and enact their networking technology and infrastructure strategies. However, SDN does not only offer new opportunities and abilities for organisations to redesign their entire network infrastructure but also presents a different set of issues and challenges that need to be resolved. One such challenge is the implementation of Digital Forensic Readiness (DFR) in SDN environments. This paper, therefore, examines existing literature and highlights the different issues and challenges impacting the implementation of DFR in SDN. However, the paper also goes further to offer insights on the different countermeasures that organisations can embrace to enhance their ability to respond to cybersecurity incidents as well as help them in implementing DFR in SDN environments
