Security Networking Group

The Security Networking Group (SNG) is a peer collaboration community within the Mid-Atlantic CIO Forum, bringing together security leaders to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges, and develop practical approaches to addressing cybersecurity and information security concerns. The group identifies topics of mutual interest and fosters collaboration on issues that impact Forum member organizations.

While the SNG is designed primarily for security professionals and leaders, all Mid-Atlantic CIO Forum members are welcome and encouraged to participate. Discussions may include technical topics; however, content is selected with a focus on business relevance and organizational impact, ensuring value for both technology and business leaders.

The SNG operates in accordance with its published SNG Membership, Participation and Governance Policy. In alignment with this policy, the SNG:

• Meets following each Mid-Atlantic CIO Forum Full Membership meeting (typically twice per year).
• Encourages broad participation from Forum members, security leaders, administrators, and other relevant team members.
• Provides timely information, insights, and alerts regarding emerging security threats, trends, and best practices.
• Facilitates the exchange of experiences, lessons learned, and peer-driven solutions to common security challenges.
• Maintains an active participant roster, distributes meeting announcements, and provides summaries and key takeaways from SNG meetings.

Through collaboration, information sharing, and peer engagement, the SNG helps Forum members strengthen their organizations' security posture while fostering a trusted network of security professionals across the Mid-Atlantic region.
