The FIRSTCON25, organized by the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), is the annual global gathering of CSIRT member teams.
Over the course of five days, our representatives took part in: – Advanced technical sessions – Expert panels on emerging threats – Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Birds of a Feather (BoFs) meetings – A dynamic Capture The Flag (CTF) competition
