White Paper: Current State of IPv6 Security in IoT

The growth of IPv6 adoption may change the cybersecurity play field, changing how attackers and defenders operate. What is the current state of IoT security and how fast do we need to adapt to stay ahead of the game? The Aposemat IoT team at Stratosphere aimed to answer this and other questions in their research conducted from May to July 2020.

This white paper explores what is the current state of IPv6 security in IoT, what is the global growth of IPv6 and how does this growth look like in a real network. If IPv6 is already being used, are attackers already attacking using this protocol? Is there already malware capable of attacking on IPv6? Read through as we aim to answer these questions.
