2012 North American IPv6 Summit

We wanted to let everyone know about the 2012 North American IPv6 Summit event taking place at the Grand Hyatt Denver, Colorado on April 9-11, 2012. This event is being coordinated by the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Task Force and the other regional IPv6 Task Forces. This is the largest IPv6 event in North America and it we would like you to be a part of our event.

This event is designed to educate and update you on the current state of IPv6 adoption.  Attendees will learn about what other organizations are doing to prepare for the migration to IPv6 and learn from those who are already utilizing the benefits of IPv6. You will collaborate with colleagues who are actively working on IPv6 research and implementation and learn about IPv6 technology from industry experts.

IPv6 Security

My book on IPv6 Security has just been published for three years now and I couldn't be happier.  This book took over a year to write and I am proud of the way it turned out.  It has lots of great technical detail that will help IPv6 implementers create secure networks right from the start.  This book shows what attackers can do and how to protect against the current IPv6 threats.  It has received high praise and continues to be considered the go-to resource on the subject of IPv6 Security.
