Preparing, Transitioning & Securing IPv6 Networks in Government

Agencies and industries are working together to transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks making room for more IoT and additional connected devices.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission published a mandate that all new networked federal information systems must be Internet Protocol version 6-enabled, so that the overall IPv6-only requirement is met by the end of FY 2023. This shift to IPv6 is largely driven by the explosion of IoT and connected devices, and a need for more available IP addresses.
