FIRST Welcomes New Members and Thanks Sponsoring Teams!

FIRST has welcomed 23 new members over the FIRST 3 months of 2025: 6 Liaisons and 18 Teams. The split is: 10 Teams from Europe, 2 from Asia, 2 from North America, and 2 from South America. Warm welcome to our new members!

FIRST aspires to bring together incident response and security teams from every country across the world to ensure a safe internet for all. Part of the FIRST mission is Global Coordination - you can always find the team and information you need. This is not possible without the support of teams who sponsor new members to join the community each year. A huge ‘THANK YOU’ to all sponsors who committed to doing the on-site or virtual site visits, supported applications, and provided recommendations.
