The proper thing to call it is IRC </nitpick> You should follow FreeBSD security advisories and always apply the patches that come out with them. You can sign up for the security advisory mailing list, instructions for this can be found on the web page. Until then, go browse through ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/, this is where all of the advisories and patches are kept. Read through them and apply the ones that are relevent for your system!
