Annual Conferences
Since 1989, annual conferences on Computer Security Incident Handling have been held. These conferences are the only events focusing on computer security incident response issues. These conferences provide a venue for security professionals and security teams to meet, network, share experiences, and build trusted relationships with their colleagues from around the world.
Security professionals in all areas will find the interaction with incident response teams educational. The presentations are international in scope and include the latest in incident response and prevention, vulnerability analysis, and computer security.
These conferences are open to both FIRST members and non-members.
