IPv6 Overview (2026)
Details
IPv6 is already on your network — most organizations just aren't watching it.
In this session, we'll break down IPv6 fundamentals through a security lens: what the addresses mean, how they behave differently from IPv4, and why leaving IPv6 unmonitored is one of the most common blind spots in enterprise environments.
🎯 What We'll Cover
- Why IPv6 matters right now (even if your org "doesn't use it").
- How IPv6 addresses are structured: link-local, global unicast, and more.
- NDP vs ARP — and why NDP introduces new attack surface.
- The security gap: organizations harden IPv4, but leave IPv6 wide open.
- Live demo: reading your own IPv6 configuration on Linux.
