Course Name:
Understanding IPv6 Security
Course Duration:
3 days
Course Description:
The introduction of IPv6 has changed the network landscape forever.
And any organization integrating the next generation protocol must contend
with the new security paradigm IPv6 creates. Even organizations not deploying
IPv6 today may find their security policies challenged by the widespread
availability of IPv6 support in operating systems and network hardware
and the ease with which it can be enabled. Irregardless of an organizationís
IPv6 adoption plan, the key to securing tomorrowís network is
an understanding of the relationship between IPv4 and IPv6 on multi-protocol
networks, security issues associated with transition, and knowing the
current mitigation techniques and best practices for a successful and
secure IPv6 deployment.
