PHASE 6 OVERVIEW¶
SECURITY & EDGE AI IPv6 DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ WHY PHASE 6 IS CRITICAL: │
│ │
│ SECURITY GAPS IDENTIFIED: │
│ 🚨 FTD Firewalls: NO IPv6 protection (18 units) │
│ 🚨 Zero Trust: NO SGT enforcement for IPv6 │
│ 🚨 Edge AI: NO IPv6 connectivity for AI workloads │
│ 🚨 SecureX XDR: Limited IPv6 threat visibility │
│ ⚠️ Umbrella: Missing IPv6 DNS security │
│ │
│ CURRENT STATE (IPv4-Only Security): │
│ ❌ FTD: 18 firewalls protecting IPv4 only │
│ ❌ FMC: Management via IPv4 only │
│ ❌ SGT policies: Not applied to IPv6 flows │
│ ❌ Edge AI: UCS XE9305 + NVIDIA L4 on IPv4 │
│ ❌ XDR: No IPv6 telemetry ingestion │
│ ❌ Umbrella: IPv6 DNS queries not secured │
│ │
│ TARGET STATE (Dual-Stack Security): │
│ ✅ FTD: Dual-stack firewall protection │
│ ✅ FMC: IPv6 management + policies │
│ ✅ SGT: Enforced on IPv4 + IPv6 traffic │
│ ✅ Edge AI: Dual-stack inference (camera → AI) │
