IPA's Unified Information Security Portal and Latest Alerts (October 2026)

The Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA) information security page is a portal that centrally provides a wide range of information, including security alerts, vulnerability information (JVN), consultation desks, evaluation schemes, educational materials, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. As a recent important notice, it posted "不正アクセス特別相談窓口の開設について" on 2026-10-16.

On the site, emergency and advisory-level security alerts are specified, such as "Measures against leaks due to unauthorized access" and "Microsoft product vulnerability measures" covering 2026-10-09–14. In addition, JVN (Japan Vulnerability Notes) published multiple reports on vulnerabilities affecting DVRs, tablets, and software between 2026-10-18 and 2026-10-20.

In addition to guidance on support and consultation desks, IPA introduces schemes and services such as the government cloud evaluation scheme (ISMAP), the "サイバーセキュリティお助け隊サービス" for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the security measures self-declaration (SECURITY ACTION). These are public resources intended to assist organizations with implementation and initial response.

Users are encouraged to check emergency vulnerability information and JVN disclosures and to take appropriate measures for affected systems and products (apply updates, verify settings, perform initial response). The site also offers alarm RSS feeds, e-mail newsletters, and social media, enabling ongoing follow-up.

This page is intended to provide information and guidance on support desks; for detailed investigations of individual incidents or damage reports, users are directed to the site’s reporting and consultation pages or the 不正アクセス特別相談窓口.
