An image processing apparatus includes: an apparatus information generator, an authenticator, and a job controller. The apparatus information generator generates apparatus information including apparatus identification information. The authenticator performs non-contact user authentication with a communication terminal by using communication without the Internet or by capturing image information. The job controller causes the communication terminal whose user has been authenticated by the authenticator to acquire the apparatus information by using communication without the Internet or by providing the apparatus information as image information. The job controller causes an apparatus corresponding to the apparatus information to execute a job on a basis of the apparatus information transmitted from the communication terminal via the Internet and setting information related to job execution.

An information processing apparatus detects an unauthorized attack and transmits attack detection information concerning the detected attack to a communication control device. The communication control device selects an attack countermeasure instruction associated with an attack detection content that matches the attack detection information and an attack countermeasure function of the information processing apparatus by using the transmitted attack detection information and the attack countermeasure information stored in advance, decides a countermeasure method to be executed against the attack, and transmits the attack countermeasure instruction information including the decided countermeasure method to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus is characterized to decide the countermeasure method to be executed against the attack from the received attack countermeasure instruction information and to execute the decided countermeasure method against the attack.
