International Association of Security Awareness Professionals

Previously organized as the Security Awareness Peer Group under sponsorship of the Computer Security Institute (CSI), our core group of security awareness professionals has been meeting since 2003. When CSI discontinued the group in 2011, members were determined to continue pursuing the group’s mission to build a trusted community for awareness teams to develop best practices and advance their mutual goal of increasing security awareness across the interconnected digital landscape.Reorganized as an independent 501(c)6 non-profit association in 2012, the International Association of Security Awareness Professionals (IASAP) is comprised of corporate members. Member participants are responsible for developing the information security awareness programs for their respective organizations, and managing everyday awareness operations.IASAP is governed by a member-elected Executive Board. IASAP accepts limited corporate sponsorships, and the majority of its revenue is derived from membership fees.
