Mission

FIRST aspires to bring together incident response and security teams from every country across the world to ensure a safe internet for all. Effective response is a global task, mirroring the global nature of the internet. Based on a peer to peer network governance model, computer security incident response teams (CSIRTS), product security incident response teams (PSIRTS) and independent security researchers work together to limit the damage of security incidents. This requires a high level of trust; the fuel our members run on. FIRST fosters trust building among member through a variety of activities. Incidents are not confined to one cultural or political corner of the internet, nor do they respect borders or boundaries. FIRST thus promotes inclusiveness, inviting membership from all geographic and cultural regions.
