The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol is a critical component in establishing secure communication channels over the internet. While IKEv1 has been widely adopted, its successor, IKEv2, offers significant enhancements. This paper explores the motivations driving organizations to migrate from IKEv1 to IKEv2. Key reasons include improved security features, support for modern cryptographic algorithms, and enhanced resilience against various cyber threats. The analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the benefits associated with IKEv2, thereby making a compelling case for its adoption in contemporary network infrastructures.
