FIRST is based on a peer-to-peer network governance model, where Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), Product Security Incident Response Teams (PSIRTs) and independent security researchers work together across borders to limit the damage of security incidents. This requires a high degree of trust – fostered by FIRST through its distributed governance as well as the various activities it promotes. This model also fosters inclusiveness and ownership, by inviting membership from all geographic and cultural regions.

And today, we are pleased to share that after the completion of a rigorous application process, we have joined the global FIRST team. Notably, AMI is the first independent BIOS vendor (IBV) to gain admission to the Forum.

“As the Chair of the FIRST Board of Directors, it is my great pleasure to welcome AMI as a new full member to FIRST. With its deep experience at the forefront of firmware security and incident response, we are confident that AMI will make an immediate and meaningful impact as a FIRST member,” said Tracy A. Bills, Chairperson of the FIRST Board of Directors.

Recognizing the importance of its admission, Samuel Cure, Chief Information Officer at AMI commented that “As the first IBV to receive this honor, we are extremely proud to become a member of FIRST. We strongly believe that our many decades of leadership and expertise in firmware and platform security will bring a unique and effective perspective to this important work.”

About FIRST

FIRST is the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, whose members have resolved an almost continuous stream of security-related attacks and incidents including handling thousands of security vulnerabilities affecting nearly all of the millions of computer systems and networks throughout the world connected by the ever-growing Internet. FIRST brings together a wide variety of security and incident response teams including product security teams from the government, commercial, and academic sectors.

Beginning on April 29, AMI will once again join the OCP EMEA Summit – where global technical leaders come together to tackle the issues related to data center sustainability, energy efficiency and heat reuse in the EMEA region. The 2025 edition of the Summit takes place in Dublin, Ireland at the Convention Center Dublin from April 29-30, with AMI participating as a Premier Sponsor in Booth B6.

As always, our booth will host an exciting array of product demonstrations and presentations focused on driving the open compute community forward. One recent achievement we will highlight during the Summit is our certification in the OCP Security Appraisal Framework and Enablement (S.A.F.E.) Program, as we are the first independent BIOS vendor (IBV) to achieve this. The OCP S.A.F.E. Program is designed to provide a strong degree of security assurance for the provenance, code quality and software supply chain for firmware releases and patches for the wide variety of processing devices that are found in modern data centers.

AMI thought leaders will also deliver several presentations during the Summit to show how we are working to usher in the next generation of open and sustainable data centers with our intelligent firmware, including:

• “Unlocking the Future of Data Center Efficiency: Open Compute Project and Firmware Innovation” by Sanjoy Maity, Chief Executive Officer of AMI. Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 13:35 PM – 14:00 PM IST (Irish Standard Time) on the Expo Hall Stage in the Forum on Level 1

• “Developing for Purpose, Efficiency, Reliability, and Interoperability with Arm Purpose-Built Silicon with Open-Source Firmware” by Zach Bobroff, Chief Product Officer of AMI. Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 13:35 PM – 14:00 PM IST in Liffey Hall 1 on Level 1

• “Unified Platform Configuration: OPF Initiative to Simplify Platform Configuration” by Felix Polyudov, Director of Engineering (BFG – Aptio) of AMI. Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 15:15 PM – 15:30 PM IST in Liffey Hall 1 on Level 1

• “A Unified Approach for AI Infrastructure Manageability Using Open-Source Firmware” by Zach Bobroff, Chief Product Officer of AMI and Adonay Berhe, Product Marketing Manager of AMI. Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 16:20 PM – 16:40 PM IST in Liffey Hall 1 on Level 1

• “AI Infrastructure Rack Management: Exploring Scalable Solutions Through Open-source Collaboration” by Brian Vandecoevering, Senior Director of Strategic Technology Partnerships of AMI. Tuesday, April 29, 2025, from 16:40 PM – 17:00 PM IST in Liffey Hall 1 on Level 1

In addition, during the Summit AMI will join the CHIPS Alliance (Common Hardware for Interfaces, Processors and Systems) in Booth A13, to share how open-source silicon is helping to accelerate chip design. The CHIPS Alliance seeks to develop and host high quality, open-source hardware code (IP cores), interconnect IP, open-source firmware and software development tools for design, verification, and more. The Alliance is supported by the Linux Foundation and endeavors to provide a barrier-free collaborative environment, with the goal of lowering the cost of developing IP and tools for hardware development.

Together with the Alliance, AMI will provide a demo of Caliptra – a project that originated with OCP for datacenter-class SoCs like CPUs, GPUs, DPUs and TPUs. The Caliptra project outlines the specification, silicon logic, ROM and firmware for implementing a Root of Trust for Measurement (RTM) block inside an SoC, giving it Identity, Measured Boot and Attestation capabilities. We encourage the open compute community to visit the CHIPS Alliance booth to learn more about how to get involved and collaborate in these efforts.

Sanjoy Maity, AMI CEO, commented that “OCP continues to do extremely important work to help make the next generation of data centers that will push the boundaries of AI and HPC more sustainable and efficient. Our boot and manageability firmware, as well as our data center management technologies, are at the core of this open-source-driven movement towards a more sustainable future – ushering in this next generation of sustainable data centers with intelligent firmware. Our roster of presentations and demos highlight our broad involvement and commitment to OCP and the open compute ecosystem, and we look forward to welcoming guests to Booth B6 for another exciting OCP EMEA Summit.”
