On April 4 at ISC West 2025, the SIA Women in Security Forum will recognize the Power 100 honorees as part of the Day 3 Keynote event at the show. At this free event presented by WISF and sponsored by dormakaba and HID, attendees will connect with other leaders and innovators in the security industry, celebrate the WISF Power 100 honorees and hear a motivating keynote presentation from special guest speaker Kate Maxwell, general manager for the worldwide education industry at Microsoft, about what it means to be the “Woman in the Arena” who strives, who struggles, who keeps showing up and who never loses track of who she is and what she stands for.

“The SIA Women in Security Power 100 award presentation has become one of my favorite times of the year,” said SIA Women in Security Forum Chair Alice DiSanto. “The joy of spotlighting security industry trailblazers and celebrating their leadership begins now and carries through the week of ISC West. It’s a party for ladies making an impact; the recognition is well deserved. My congratulations to all.”

The Power 100 announcement comes alongside International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and presenting a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. SIA supports International Women’s Day and launched the SIA Women in Security Forum on this day in 2018. This year, SIA will celebrate International Women’s Day and its 2024 theme by encouraging the Power 100 honorees, the Women in Security Forum community and the larger security industry to work to forge gender equality and #AccelerateAction.

“We received almost 500 nominations for the Power 100 this year, and the caliber of applicants was extraordinary,” said Candice Aragon, vice chair of the SIA Women in Security Forum and co-chair of the WISF IlluminateHER subcommittee. “Grading the submissions was inspiring; so many women are making a huge impact on our industry and, therefore, securing our world. I look forward to honoring this year’s Power 100 winners.”

“The women on this list are a testament to the influence all of us can have on making the industry more welcoming and inclusive,” said Jenna Hardie, co-chair of the WISF IlluminateHER Subcommittee. “It’s inspiring to see so much activity being done within companies and externally to elevate women’s voices and mentor a new generation of security leaders.”
