The Shmoo Group is an independent, non-profit think-tank comprised of leading security professionals from around the world who donate their efforts to information security research and development.

This is why the conference is often called "HallwayCon".

The collaborative efforts of Shmoo Group members, extends into some of the world's most widely used information security (INFOSEC) software and Cybersecurity focused publications.

"AiNET has been a longstanding, and valued supporter of The Shmoo Group and we are pleased for their continued sponsorship for ShmooCon 2016," said Bruce Potter, founder of The Shmoo Group and an organizer of ShmooCon 2016.

With founding members of The Shmoo Group on its technical staff, AiNET ensures that its customers remain on the cutting edge of Information Security and Information Assurance.

He continued, "We're pleased to continue our platinum sponsorship of the elite Shmoo Group and assisting this world-leading organization to continue its ground breaking cyber security leadership, education and outreach."
