IPA:Measures for Vulnerability in Information Systems

Security center carries out distribution of vulnerability related information. It conducts analysis, establish countermeasures, provides PR documents, materials and develop support tools to counter vulnerability.

• Collection / Analysis of Information on Vulnerabilities, Analysis of Attacking Methods

Information on vulnerability and attack methods released via the Internet is collected for the purposes of various research, verification, and evaluation of the impact.

• Reduction of Vulnerabilities

For the development of safe software, our compilation of know-how titled, "A Secure Programming Course," is presented on our website. Furthermore, research, study, and the development of technology and supporting tools are carried out to reduce the vulnerabilities.

• Report / analysis of Vulnerability-related information, and reports of spreading of countermeasures for vulnerabilities.

IPA operates “Information Security Early Warning Partnership” for vulnerability-related information distribution in cooperation with JPCERT Coordination Center (JPCERT/CC), and other related organizations/bodies.
IPA co-operates the JVN portal site, with JPCERT/CC, which provides the action status being taken by the vendors for the vulnerability which has been uncovered, and distributes countermeasure when it becomes available.
