Technological development brings with it the emergence of security risks. To help you keep up to date with relevant developments, we have put together a collection of tips and recommendations for action.

First PSIRT Services Framework

The Services Frameworks are high level documents detailing possible services that computer incident response teams (CSIRTs) and product incident response teams (PSIRTs) may provide. They are developed by recognized experts from the FIRST community. FIRST strives to include feedback from all sectors, including CSIRTs with a national responsibility, private sector CSIRTs and PSIRTs as well as other stakeholders. These documents were intended to provide a foundation for the development of new training material. However today they are used in a much wider scope, for example when defining an initial service catalogue for new teams.

First TRAFFIC LIGHT PROTOCOL (TLP)

The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) was created in order to facilitate greater sharing of information. TLP is a set of designations used to ensure that sensitive information is shared with the appropriate audience. It employs four colors to indicate expected sharing boundaries to be applied by the recipient(s). TLP only has four colors; any designations not listed in this standard are not considered valid by FIRST.
