FIRST: Global Incident Handling

Security workshop

Monday — October 3rd, 2005 11:20

FIRST (the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams) was formed in response to one of the original incidents to affect the Internet in 1989 – a year after the original CERT was formed. FIRST was formed to enable response teams to liaise with each other, form trusted relationships, exchange tools and information and assist each other is responding to incidents.

Membership of FIRST allows teams to join a global group specifically setup to improve the state of the internet. Why should you join? What benefits would it bring you and your organization?
