While the Prisma® Access Agent routes mobile user IPv4 traffic through a protected tunnel to Prisma Access, IPv6 traffic is conventionally sent to the local network adapter on an endpoint. Prisma Access offers the ability to enhance security for dual-stack endpoints by sinkholing IPv6 traffic.

By enabling IPv6 sinkholing, you can effectively mitigate risks associated with IPv6-based threats, thus reducing your overall attack surface. This feature is valuable in scenarios where you need to maintain a secure environment for mobile users accessing the internet. As endpoints can automatically fall back to IPv4 addresses, you can ensure a continuous and protected user experience without compromising on security. By implementing this capability, you strike an optimal balance between robust threat prevention and uninterrupted connectivity for your mobile workforce.
