In this episode, Ed and Scott discuss the topic of IPv6 security and why you need a plan for it. Even if you haven’t actively deployed IPv6 on your network, you probably have v6-enabled hosts on your network and remote users coming connecting via v6 networks. This is Scott’s area of expertise as he is the co-author of the book IPv6 Security from Cisco Press.
Topics discussed include:
* Comparing and contrasting IPv6 and IPv4 security
* How IPv6 security is different
* Why you need IPv6 security plan even if your network is v4-only
* Where the security industry is with regards to IPv6
Thanks for listening!
