The Department
of Justice,
FBI
, and U.S. Secret Service organizations
listed below investigate violations of the federal laws described
in
Chapter 26,
Computer Security and U.S. Law
. The various response
teams that comprise the Forum of Incident and Response Security
Teams (
FIRST
) do not investigate computer crimes
per se, but provide assistance when security incidents occur; they
also provide research, information, and support that can often help
those incidents from occurring or spreading.

The Forum of Incident and Response Security Teams (
FIRST
)
was established in March 1993.
FIRST
is a coalition
that brings together a variety of computer security incident-response
teams from the public and private sectors, as well as from universities.
FIRST
's constituents comprise many response
teams throughout the world.
FIRST
's
goals are to:
-
Boost cooperation among information
technology users in the effective prevention of, detection of, and
recovery from computer security incidents
-
Provide a means to alert and advise clients on potential
threats and emerging incident situations
-
Support and promote the actions and activities of
participating incident response teams, including research and operational
activities
-
Simplify and encourage the sharing of security-related
information, tools, and techniques
FIRST
sponsors an annual workshop on incident
response that includes tutorials and presentations by members of
response teams and law enforcement.
FIRST
incorporated in mid-1995 as a nonprofit
entity. One consequence of this is a migration of
FIRST
Secretariat duties away from
NIST
. However, as
this book goes to press, the Secretariat can still be reached at:

At the time this book went to press,
FIRST
consisted of the organizations that are listed below (also provided
is a description of the constituencies served by each of the organizations).
Check online for the most up-to-date list of members.
If you have a security problem or need assistance, first attempt
to determine which of these organizations most clearly covers your
operations and needs. If you are unable to determine which (if any)
FIRST
group to approach, call any of them for
a referral to the most appropriate team.
Most of these response teams have a
PGP
key with which they sign their advisories or enable constituents
to report problems in confidence. A copy of the
PGP
keyring is kept as:

Most teams have arrangements to monitor their phones 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.

Note: The CERT (sm) Coordination Center (CERT-CC) is the organization that grew from the computer emergency response team formed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in November 1988 (in the wake of the Internet Worm and similar incidents). The CERT charter is to work with the Internet community to facilitate its response to computer security events involving Internet hosts, to take proactive steps to raise the community's awareness of computer security issues, and to conduct research into improving the security of existing systems. Their WWW and FTP archive contain an extensive collection of alerts about past (and current) security
