As a long-standing member of the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), we support CERT teams worldwide in responding quickly to security incidents. We strengthen the security network through cross-border cooperation and knowledge sharing. Visit first.org for detailed information.
As an advocate of coordinated joint efforts by European registries, we established the Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries (CENTR) in 1999.
