IPv6 - Security

This is the seminar handout of our 1-day fully independent seminar "IPv6 - Security". You get fully independent and in detail information about possible IPv6 security threats and protection methods. The seminar offers you technical details to secure your computers and networks. Important security issues of migration concepts and procedures for your protection will be explained.

WHY you should attend:

* because you have to prepare the implementation of IPv6 in our network
* because you are interested in security implications and threats during the IPv6 implementation
* because you are interested in protection strategies and measures

Main Audience:
Planners, system technicians, consultants

Your PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:
Networking, TCP/IP and IPv6 knowledge is essential
