JPCERT/CC activities are aimed at providing practical measures for the prevention and resolution of security incidents.
This is achieved through the use of advanced analysis techniques to assist companies and other organizations in adopting countermeasures.

Vulnerability handling is a process to publish accurate vulnerability information in order to reduce the likelihood of possible incidents. JPCERT/CC provides vendors with information on detected vulnerabilities, requesting patches and workarounds. It manages advisory releases schedule with international CSIRTs and other related organizations so that vulnerability information can be published at the same time. JPCERT/CC publishes the information on JVN, a vulnerability alerting portal site.

JPCERT/CC has deployed a system with sensors distributed throughout the Internet to observe various scanning activities such as worm infections and vulnerabilities. The observed data is analyzed and used for providing security awareness programs. This data is analyzed in cooperation with other observers and international CSIRTs.

As a CSIRT working in cooperation with domestic and international CSIRTs, JPCERT/CC receives incident reports and provides support as necessary. For example, if it receives notification of a phishing site detected in a foreign country, it works in cooperation with that country's CSIRT and requests closure of the site. Information about the incident and countermeasures are exchanged and shared to minimize the damage and prevent future recurrence.

JPCERT/CC has collected and analyzed various types of domestic and international threat information through vulnerability handling, ISDAS, incident handling and published security alerts. Countermeasure information is provided to domestic critical infrastructure organizations including electric and gas companies, airlines, and railway companies. JPCERT/CC has provided support for establishing an internal CSIRT for organizations, while performing cyber security exercises to enable these organizations to conduct incident responses properly.

JPCERT/CC has provided expertise and technical support for establishing national CSIRTs in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, it provides periodic incident response training to strengthen cooperation among national CSIRTs and to better prepare for emergencies.

JPCERT/CC analyzes artifacts such as bots used for cyber attacks and conducts research on countermeasure techniques. The findings are incorporated into the published information that forms the basis of JPCERT/CC activities. JPCERT/CC has made approaches to share analysis within the community.
