Abstract: As we transition from an IPv4-only landscape to Dual Stack, and ultimately, to an IPv6-only environment, we encounter critical gaps in several domains: staff education, processes, governance, and technology. This presentation will concentrate primarily on staff education and technological facets, as addressing all areas would exceed the scope of this session.

Agenda:

• Evolution of Security in IPv4 and IPv6
• Technology Investment vs. Technology Upgrade
• Trends in IPv6 Vulnerabilities from 1999 to Today
• A Brief Overview: 7 Cybersecurity Categories, 33 Specializations, and 52 Work Roles
• Techniques for Security Mitigation
