In July, I gave a keynote speech at the 2009 annual conference of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) in Kyoto, Japan, that focused on the communications barrier facing computer security incident response professionals in their cross-cultural dealings with their Asian counterparts. This was the first and, thus far, only time I’ve given this speech, but you can watch it below and draw your own conclusions about how culture, technology and information security can work together in Asia.
I should say a word about FIRST, a non-profit professional organization on whose board of directors I presently sit. I began my association with FIRST in its early years, when I was involved with computer security for a product line at Sun Microsystems. Since then, we have seen more and more emphasis put on how to react to security breaches of various kinds. But FIRST is an unique organization, bringing together incident responders from across the globe in a common forum. If you’re interested in learning more about FIRST, its annual conference, and the other work it does, by all means visit www.first.org.
Wonderful talk! Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot.
