The IPv6 Security Training Course is a one-day course providing an overview of important IPv6 security topics. Participants will gain insight into industry best practices and gain a high-level understanding of the most pressing IPv6 security concerns today. The course includes theory and hands-on exercises.

IMPORTANT: if you only have basic knowledge of IPv6, either learned on your own or in the IPv6 Fundamentals Training Course, the IPv6 Security course may be difficult to follow for you. This course requires an advanced level of knowledge of IPv6 and its operations. We strongly recommend that you attend our Advanced IPv6 Training Course before signing up for this course.

You should attend this training course if you are part of the staff of a Local Internet Registry (LIR) and if:

  • You have knowledge and experience with IPv6.
  • Your organisation has implemented IPv6 or is planning implementation.
  • You are a security/network/systems administrator, information security officer, IT consultant or security policy writer.

BGP Routing Security is a one-day course covering different aspects of the security of BGP.

Some future developments on the topic will also be covered. The course includes theory and hands-on exercises.

To attend this course, you need a good knowledge of TCP/IP and IP routing, experience with routing protocols (IGPs, but mostly BGP), and an understanding of the different BGP routing relationships (Peer, Provider, IXP peering, Customer).

You should attend this training course if you are using, or plan to use, BGP in your network and want to know more about the potential threats and the security solutions available to make your BGP routing more secure.
