Ok... only half kidding.  Are you talking about the mainframe people
only?    Most have the official HR title of System Engineer with a number.
System Engineer IV - for example.

Going by management designations:

1) Network is "Network & Telecom"  - but this is WAN/LAN.
In the case of the mainframe  sysprogs, "The VTAM group" or "The VTAM
and TCP/IP group".   I try to call them the "Comm server group" (they are 
part of the OS mainframe group -  same as the "MVS" sysprogs).

2) "Security".  I'm not sure what they call the distributed folks, either
security techs or security operations, network security. 
For the mainframe they call them "RACF Admins"  or "Security Admins"

3) "_______  system programmer (or sysprog)"   
Fill in the blank with MVS, VTAM,  CICS, DB2, MQ, or WebSphere.   All but
"MVS" and "VTAM" fall under "middleware" as opposed to "operating system".
This is true for unix and wintel also.   There is also "The automation
group" that
has mainframe and distributed folks and also works with the monitors.  

4) Application programmers.
