đ In this week's "Improving Security Across Nations with FIRST" video series, we spotlight Cornelia Shipindo, FIRST Member and Acting Executive of NAM-CSIRT, Namibia's national Computer Incident Response Team operating under the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN).
She shares how connection helped build NAM-CSIRT from the ground up:
đ± Fast-tracked membership - NAM-CSIRT joined FIRST's Suguru Yamaguchi Fellowship Program in 2025, with Botswana's national CSIRT as primary sponsor and the Netherlands National Cyber Security Centre as secondary sponsor, achieving full FIRST membership within the same year
đ€ Trust across borders - "None of that would have been possible without this community." The Fellowship connected NAM-CSIRT to peers who had already built what they were building, turning years of potential trial and error into months
đ Paying it forward - Two Namibian organizations are now working toward FIRST membership with NAM-CSIRT as their sponsor, the same role Botswana played for them
