Overview
SDSUG maintains formal relationships with select institutional partners whose missions align with community readiness, cybersecurity education, and regional security resilience. These partnerships strengthen SDSUG’s ability to support individuals, organizations, and public‑sector entities across Phoenix, Las Vegas, and the broader Southwest region.
These relationships are collaborative and educational in nature. SDSUG does not represent, endorse, or act on behalf of any partner organization. Each partner retains full operational authority within its own mission scope.
