IPv6
Built-in IPv6 access control, NAT, clustering and VPN
Major operating systems and core networking components offer IPv6 support. For example, Windows Vista and Windows 7 uses IPv6 addresses by default, which may be a potential security threat without properly implemented access control and deep inspection. In addition, malicious traffic may be hidden inside IPv6 and IP-in-IP tunnels, which many security solutions still fail to protect.
StoneGate Firewall/VPN provides IPv6 support for:
- Firewall access control
- Network Address Translation (NAT)
- IPv6 Clustering
- Site-to-site VPN
- IPv6 FTP protocol agent
To complement IPv6 security use StoneGate IPS that provides support for IPv6 deep inspection and tunneled traffic inspection.
StoneGate Firewall/VPN is already been used in multiple IPv6 production environments around the world. Stonesoft has also actively participated the IPv6 test flights and is aiming for full IPv6 support in a few years.
