What is Security Social?
Answer: It is The Phoenix Metro (4.8 Million People) Social Group for Professionals in the physical and cyber security space. It empowers members by hosting events at quality venues that:
- Grow your career thru new relationships.
- Embrace the exchange of new ideas and technology.
- Host and Curate Security Workshops with Relevant Current Topics
- Gives members a great social outlet to decompress and enjoy.
Simply said: by having fun at these events, you will consistently encounter new individuals, offering you the greatest potential to enhance your career. This is due to the fact that you establish new alliances with fellow professionals who possess skillsets and connections that can be mutually beneficial.
Why In-Person Events Matter
Answer: Face to Face human connections produce results not possible thru technology. Virtual meetings are fantastic tools but there will never be a replacement to shaking hands, getting ‘that gut feeling’ or a friendly embrace that only comes with in person connections.
We are Phoenix Locals
Hot Summers and Mild Winters in the Valley of the Sun
We, as Phoenix locals, are fostering a dynamic security community. Within this community, we facilitate the exchange and exploration of topics that hold significance to our members, with the aim of empowering everyone.
Here, our members have the opportunity to connect with each other in a traditional, face-to-face manner as opposed to the online anything.
The Reasons for Membership
Members are actively making an effort to improve their skills, furthering their careers and building their network of people. Privacy or anonymity concerns? Read here.

- Others employed in the security space.
- Individuals with similar goals.
- Access to current and relevant education thru workshops.
Full Membership Explained here
Members, in general, want to network outside the confines of the office environment. They simply enjoy a relaxed happy hour gathering at a nearby, trendy venue, conveniently situated between home and work. These events involve certain expenses, and membership dues contribute to covering these costs.
Group Workshops
The detailed blend of workshops provides a unique learning opportunity, bringing in an environment of knowledge exchange and interaction amongst like-minded professionals. Here, anyone can learn the basics, and veterans can deepen their understanding of advanced concepts, helping in forming a cohesive network of individuals who are passionate about security.

The Event Format Explained
The theme is people interacting with other people.
This isn’t your typical networking event filled with endless vendor presentations. We host our events at top-notch venues, accompanied by great music in the company of enthusiastic peers eager to connect and meet new individuals.
No sales or marketing people are admitted (meaning no members of SecuritySocial are sales people). The 2 or 3 vendors that have 3 mins each to speak have a designated area where everyone can interact.
