The website located at https://sonoransecurity.org is unlawfully using protected intellectual property belonging to Sonoran Desert Security (SDSUG) at https://sdsug.org/) and is misrepresenting their organization as affiliated with, derived from, or equivalent to SDSUG. The website is: Copying the Sonoran Desert Security (SDSUG) logo and visual identity, constituting trademark infringement and trade dress misappropriation. Using the derivative name “Sonoran Security,” which is confusingly similar to the protected institutional name “Sonoran Desert Security.” Using our domain and branding to present themselves as a cybersecurity group, creating direct marketplace confusion with SDSUG’s 25-year institutional presence as the first cybersecurity group and conference in Arizona. Stealing SDSUG’s research language, including phrasing from the SDSUG Research Hub and published reports located at https://sdsug.org/research/. Publishing false claims, including the statement: “Sonoran Security is an independent cybersecurity research platform serving the Desert Southwest. We bridge the gap between global intelligence and local application to protect regional enterprises…” This language is materially similar to SDSUG’s original research descriptions and misrepresents their website as an organization as having SDSUG’s history, scope, and authority.
