IPv6 is a protocol which is incompatible with IPv4 and existing security measures for IPv4 may be bypassed because of negligence, rushing for IPv6 deployment or other reasons.  This somehow creates a big security hole to the critical systems and networks.  The speakers will try to address the security issues arising from IPv6 deployment so that introduction of IPv6 will not turn out to be a big security threat to the community at large.
