Reasons Why SMBs Should Switch to IPv6
3. Security
Another fact is that when researchers and networking gurus developed IPv4 security did not really cross their minds infact IPv4 was never meant to be secure it was just developed to host the IP address.
But this is not the case with the new generation protocol, IPv6 has been built from the ground up with security in mind.
Many of the security features that have been duct-taped after the fact onto IPv4 as optional features are integrated into IPv6 as default requirements. IPv6 encrypts traffic and checks packet integrity to provide VPN-like protection for standard Internet traffic.
