FIRST — Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams

FIRST Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Since its founding in 1990, FIRST has fostered global cooperation and coordination in incident prevention, rapid response, and information sharing." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is one of the more visible businesses we measure, scoring 7.0 out of 10.

On the page itself the strengths are clear: a clear heading structure and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on a few credibility markers. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, the technical files AI engines look for, such as llms.txt or an open robots.txt and structured data describing the business.

Away from its own site, other sites link to it, the domain reads as established, AI engines recognise it as a distinct business, people discuss it in places AI engines read and it comes up on Reddit. There is some, but not much, sign that press coverage is thin.

AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together.
