"SVSG is an experience. We are a purpose driven movement. We are laser-focused on building the most innovative, diverse, and genuine security community out there."

Ricardo Segovia, Founder & Executive Director

About Us

The Silicon Valley Security Group was established in September of 2021 in Redwood City, CA. 

The idea was to build a one-of-a-kind, ego-free, inclusive and innovative community of security professionals that would help one another in times of need.

The membership process was also very simple, yet effective: Bring someone you trust, someone who you think might be a good fit for SVSG.

The community grew organically through informal social events and casual  conversations.  

In December of 2023, the Silicon Valley Security Group became a 501c3 non-profit organization.
