About us

The home for security in Colorado.

Colorado = Security is a community movement with one goal: to make Colorado the best place in the world for security companies and talent. We do it by amplifying the signal of the great work already happening here, connecting security leaders over dinner, running an open Slack workspace, and putting out a podcast about the people and companies in this state.

How we got here

A dozen years of community.

2014

The Dinner Series begins

Colorado security leaders start gathering over dinner. Small rooms, real conversations. It's still the heart of the community today.

February 2017

The podcast launches

Episode 1 of Colorado's best security podcast. 291 episodes later, it's still running.

2017

The Slack workspace opens

An open room for the whole Colorado security industry, not just leaders. Anyone working in security here can walk in. It grows into the largest part of the community.

2019

The first salary survey

Colorado security professionals had no local compensation data to negotiate with, so we started collecting it and giving it away. Six editions since.

April 2024

Security Leader Summit 1

The first full-day gathering of the Colorado security leadership community, now held twice a year.

2024–2026

Giving back, together

We started organizing community volunteer events, roughly six over three years, where members come together to work on a project for the good of others.

2026

3,000+ strong

The Slack workspace passes 3,000 members and the community heads into its sixth Summit.

Who's behind it

Robb & Alex.

Colorado = Security is run by two people who've served the Denver security community for years, as security leaders at local companies and as volunteers for area non-profits.
