FIRST is the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams. It was clear from then on that information exchange and cooperation on issues of mutual interest
like new vulnerabilities or wide ranging attacks - especially on core system like the DNS servers or the Internet as a critical infrastructure itself - were the key issues
for security and incident response teams. FIRST brings together a wide variety of security and incident response teams including especially product security teams
from the government, commercial, and academic sectors. TWCERTCC becomes the first official international coordination in Taiwan by
joining the FIRST in October 2001 to share the latest security information and technologies in FIRST forum with members, attends annual FIRT conference to
establish a transnational security joint defense system and enhances incident-handling capability for integrated early-warning mechanism.

5.3. Seoul-Melbourne Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Counting SPAM
E-mail becomes a major application with the population of computer and network, however, the following spam abuse is getting more and more rampant. Spam not
only wastes individual and enterprise cost, but also endangers information and network security. Enterprises and the government have to face and restrain the
spam threat which is a global authorized problem. In addition to legislation and management, the most important is to set up a transnational and
trans-organizational cooperation to effectively stop spam persecution. Seoul-Melbourne Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in
Counting SPAM is an agreement signed by Australian Communications and
87 Media Authority ACMA and Korea Information Security Agency KISA in 2003.
Participates in Seoul-Melbourne MoU are part of a network of computer security incident response and security teams that work together voluntarily to deal with
spam problem and prevention. TWCERTCC has been promoting the training of computer-network security
response for years. Since 2005, TWCERTCC has officially joined Seoul-Melbourne MoU member, and played the contact agent for sharing the
experiences on dealing Taiwans spam issues and exchange the anti-spam jurisdiction process with other members.
The key points of our missions are: 1. To cope Taiwans network security incidents with other nations, and take
the part as a coordination center; 2. To assist in handling the transnational spam problems;
3. To exchange the related security intelligence with each member; 4. To participate in international forums and meetings related to network
