The IPC's goal is to continuously improve the organization's security posture. The most important step in this is to establish strong protection. This protection comes from knowing the threats and countermeasures, being aware of the organization's vulnerable assets and implementation of controls to protect these. Environmental scanning: The members of the center must remain vigilant and aware of the rapidly evolving security environment. The Centre must carry out environmental scanning for both new threats and new vulnerabilities. The IPC must be aware of new products, tools or software patches that become available to counter many of these threats or vulnerabilities. This is done via review of newsgroups, Internet news feeds, peer networking and paper media. Membership in FIRST will provide access to news of security incidents from other Incident Response organizations.
