The field of information security is a large mosaic of technical, procedural and physical controls that seeks to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Security, however, is not an island unto itself. It must co-exist and collaborate with application developers, cloud computing environments and mobile platforms, not to mention regulatory compliance and law enforcement needs.

The 24th Annual FIRST Conference seeks to bridge this gap by focusing on the practical aspects of security and incident response in the face of a rush toward adoption of cloud computing and other distributed architectures. Considering the inroads that mobile devices are making in our daily workplaces, perhaps it is time for security to redefine itself in some fundamental ways.
