Summary: When it comes to security, there are a few critical differences between IPv4 and IPv6 that organizations need to be aware of, including host addressing and extension headers.<br> We examine these differences, as well as other v6 security issues, with our guest Eric Vyncke, a Distinguished Engineer at Cisco and co-author of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Security-Cisco-Press-Networking-Technology/dp/1587055945" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IPv6 Security</a> (Cisco Press).<br> Eric is the Co-Chair of the Belgium IPv6 Council as well as the Co-Chair of Operational Security Capabilities for IP Network Infrastructure (OPSEC) Working Group at the IETF (where he has authored many RFCs).<br> Topic discussed include:<br> <br> * The general IPv6 security landscape<br> * The differences and similarities between IPv4 and IPv6 security<br> * The “latent threat” of IPv6 and what to do about it<br> * Some innovative ways IPv6 is being used<br> <br> Thanks for listening!<br> Show Links:<br> <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Security-Cisco-Press-Networking-Technology/dp/1587055945" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IPv6 Security</a> – Cisco Press<br> <a href="https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IPv6 Deployment Aggregated Status</a> – Vyncke.org<br> <a href="https://www.vyncke.org/myipcolor.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">What Color is Your IPv6 Address?</a> – Vyncke.org<br> Your Hosts:<br> <br> * <a href="https://twitter.com/ipv6tom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Coffeen @ipv6tom</a><br> * <a href="https://twitter.com/scotthogg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scott Hogg @scotthogg</a><br> <br>
