Security in an IPv6 Environment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been in security for over 10 years and hadn't had to deal much with IPv6 issues until I got a new job at a government facility. That was it, there was just too much going on and too many things that were critical. This book helped make sense of it and helped me understand how many new security issues there are with IPv6 deployments, and especially IPv6 deployments that are co-mingled with either internal or external IPv4 deployments. This is the kind of book that allows the security professional and the network engineer to come to terms and make the right decisions in planning, executing and securing a network in that kind of environment. IPv6 isn't going anywhere and if you're in the security or networking field, you have to deal with it. This book helps get you through it and follows best practices for infosec pro and engineer alike.

Analyze Key Security Mechanisms and Approaches with this practical primer, the first book on the market to cover critical IPv6 security considerations.Dan Minoli, author of over 50 books on telecommunications and networks, and Jake Kouns, Chairman, CEO and CFO of the Open Security Foundation, discuss IPv6 security vulnerabilities, considerations, and mechanisms, and survey approaches for ensuring reliable and controlled IPv6 migration. The authors pool knowledge from industry resources, RFCs, and their own considerable security experience, discussing key IPv6 features, security issues, and potential exploitation of IPv6 protocol. They examine use of firewalls and encryption, and the fundamental topic of IPSec in IPv6 environments.Protect Networks from New and Growing Threats An increasing amount of mission-critical commercial and military operations are supported by distributed, mobile, always-connected, hybrid public-private networks, especially IPv6-based networks. The number of attackers or inimical agents continues to grow, and all computing environments must feature high-assurance security mechanisms. Even administrators in pure IPv4 environments require at least a rudimentary understanding of IPv6 security principles to safeguard traditional networks. This comprehensive book explains why security savvy approaches are indispensible and includes considerations for mixed IPv4 and IPv6 migration environments. More than an exhaustive treatment of IPv6 and security topics, this text is a point of departure for anyone adjusting to this technological transition and subtending security considerations. About the AuthorsDaniel Minoli, director of terrestrial systems engineering for SES Americom, has done extensive work with IPv6, including four books on the subject.Jake Kouns (CISSP, CISA, CISM), director of information security and network services for Markel Corporation, is also co-founder and president of the Open Security Foundation.
