Effective response is a global task that mirrors the global nature of the internet. Recognizing this, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.first.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams<\/a> (FIRST) brings together security incident response teams from nearly every country to ensure a safe internet for all.<\/p>\n<p>FIRST is based on a peer-to-peer network governance model, where Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), Product Security Incident Response Teams (PSIRTs) and independent security researchers work together across borders to limit the damage of security incidents. This requires a high degree of trust \u2013 fostered by FIRST through its distributed governance as well as the various activities it promotes. This model also fosters inclusiveness and ownership, by inviting membership from all geographic and cultural regions.<\/p>\n<p>And today, we are pleased to share that after the completion of a rigorous application process, we have joined the global FIRST team. Notably, AMI is the first independent BIOS vendor (IBV) to gain admission to the Forum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Chair of the FIRST Board of Directors, it is my great pleasure to welcome AMI as a new full member to FIRST. With its deep experience at the forefront of firmware security and incident response, we are confident that AMI will make an immediate and meaningful impact as a FIRST member,\u201d said Tracy A. Bills, Chairperson of the FIRST Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the importance of its admission, Samuel Cure, Chief Information Officer at AMI commented that \u201cAs the first IBV to receive this honor, we are extremely proud to become a member of FIRST. We strongly believe that our many decades of leadership and expertise in firmware and platform security will bring a unique and effective perspective to this important work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>About FIRST<\/em><\/p>\n<p>FIRST is the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, whose members have resolved an almost continuous stream of security-related attacks and incidents including handling thousands of security vulnerabilities affecting nearly all of the millions of computer systems and networks throughout the world connected by the ever-growing Internet.
