IPv6 Security

The need for IPv6 is evident, with a depleted IPv4 public address space, proliferation of mobile broadband users, growth in P2P networking and content sharing, IPv6 is now a reality.

IPv6 Security should be at the forefront of any IPv4 to IPv6 transition plan and strategy. IPv6 protocol inherits advanced security features than IPv4. Leveraging the security features and calculating the risks associated with IPv6 needs to be built in to the IPv6 design architecture phase.

IPv6 readiness in terms of existing product compatibility, investment in new technology, transition plan and security policy adherance all need to be taken into consideration.
