FIRST Special Interest Groups (SIG) 2019

July 12th, 2019 - The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) has published an update of its internationally recognized Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). CVSS is a common scoring system designed to provide open and universally standard severity ratings of software vulnerabilities for the security community. Used by organizations worldwide, version 3.1 documentation is now available on the FIRST website for members and non-members to reference.

FIRST is pleased to announce the creation of two new Special Interest Groups: PSIRT and Cyber Insurance! The PSIRT SIG is developing learning materials to support the evolution of PSIRTs at all maturity levels, and the Cyber Insurance SIG is coordinating data sharing and providing a feedback mechanism between CERTs and Cyber Insurance organizations.
