Security Initiatives for a Safe Society

Independent information gathering activities

At IIJ, we gather information to discover issues and incidents that occur on the Internet on a daily basis at an early stage, and implement measures on IIJ services as quickly as possible. These activities include accumulation of information on the handling of incidents that actually occurred through public monitoring of general news, collection of vulnerability information, and malware analysis.

Web Crawlers

Web crawlers are systems for observing malware that infects devices by exploiting vulnerabilities in browsers and their plug-ins. They monitor the Web pages of users in the IIJ network for malicious websites or code that redirects users to such websites, and take actions such as temporarily shutting down sites as deemed necessary.

MITF（Malware Investigation Task Force）

The MITF is a project for carrying out anti-malware activities that began from May 2007. Honeypots are installed within the IIJ backbone to observe network-based attacks and the status of malware activity. We implement countermeasures based on information acquired through recording attacks, as well as obtaining and analyzing specimens.

Reporting the Latest Technological Trends and Security Information

We proactively distribute technical reports detailing the knowledge and information we have obtained through observing incidents and operating our services.

IIR(Internet Infrastructure Review)

We publish the latest security information and technological trends in a quarterly report.
