About us

ethicsfIRST provides guidance for incident response and security teams on how to conduct themselves professionally and ethically during security incidents.

The ethicsfIRST code was developed by the FIRST Ethics special interest group and covers a list of principles that detail the responsibility of cybersecurity professionals during an incident to ensure that the interest of the public is always the primary consideration. Each principle has been thoroughly reviewed by senior practitioners and is based on real-life scenarios with an explanation on how to apply each one.
