The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) is holding its 24th Annual Conference this June (17th – 22nd) on one of the most fortified islands in the Mediterranean, Malta. Reflecting FIRST’s mission for global cooperation, the five-day conference will bring together leading experts and security professionals from around the world to share best practice and the latest thinking on this year’s theme; Security is not an island.

The field of information security is a large mosaic of technical, procedural and physical controls that seeks to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Security, however, is not an island. It must co-exist and involves collaboration with application developers, cloud computing environments and mobile platforms, not to mention regulatory compliance and law enforcement needs.

The 24th Annual FIRST Conference seeks to bridge the gap by focusing on the practical aspects of security and incident response, in the face of a growing adoption of cloud computing and other distributed architectures.

FIRST is a non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing together computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) from over 250 corporations, government bodies, universities and other institutions from across the globe. Confirmed speakers at this year’s conference include security experts from leading global organisations, such as Facebook, Deutsche Telekom, Microsoft, Google and Symantec.
