Participants in FIRST are part of a network of computer security incident response and security teams that work together voluntarily to deal with computer security problems and their prevention.
There are two types of participants in FIRST:
Full Members represent organizations who assist an information technology community or other defined constituency in preventing and handling computer security-related incidents.
Liaison Members are individuals or representatives of organizations other than incident response or security teams that have a legitimate interest in and value to FIRST.
