FIRST Gains Momentum in Media Landscape

FIRST continues to make waves in the cybersecurity sphere and was recently highlighted in globally-respected CIO as a premier IT leadership organization. Q3 continued our strong Q2 performance, which saw exceptional media traction with 36 earned coverage pieces—a stunning 514% achievement against our target.

Our recent success extends beyond traditional media. FIRSTCON 2024 generated significant buzz, from "best security conference" features to coverage of Cristine Hoepers' Hall of Fame induction. This visibility has elevated both the organization and our members' expertise.

Additionally, our digital footprint has expanded considerably, with LinkedIn alone gaining 1,700 new followers and substantial growth across GitHub, Mastodon, Meta, X, and YouTube. As we continue to strengthen our position in the cybersecurity community, we invite you to join us in maintaining this momentum—your expertise and participation are invaluable to our collective success.
