“SIA is proud to kick off the fourth year of the Women in Security Forum’s Power 100 – a signature WISF initiative celebrating the trailblazing women who are driving, advancing and transforming our industry,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “We highly encourage our member companies and the broader security community to nominate the inspiring women at their organizations and help us identify and honor these outstanding leaders.”

The Power 100 program recognizes women in security who model leadership, inspire others and shape and transform the industry. The 2025 SIA WISF Power 100 honorees will be announced on International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025. Honorees will be invited to and recognized at a special SIA Women in Security Forum event at ISC West 2025.
