Welcome back to Community Podcasts, a Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable miniseries. Joining me again is cohost Anastasiya Kazakova, a senior public affairs manager who coordinates global cyberdiplomacy projects at Kaspersky.

For those just joining us, Community Podcasts is a short series of podcasts featuring frank conversations with cyberheroes who unite people despite overwhelming obstacles. Facing growing fragmentation, confrontation, and cyberthreats, people are building communities and uniting folks to work for the common good.

For our second episode, Serge Droz, a member of the FIRST board and a senior security engineer at Proton Technologies, joins us. FIRST, the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, is a recognized global leader in incident response.

During our extended conversation, we discuss a wide array of topics: from the need for collaboration between public and private sectors, and what working with governments has been like, to the future of FIRST and incident response in general, how to ensure neutrality in cyber “firefighting,” and more.
