The Security Industry Association (SIA) has announced the 2026 honorees for the SIA Women in Security Forum (WISF) Power 100. This initiative, presented by the SIA Women in Security Forum, honors 100 women in the security industry each year whose outstanding accomplishments and success stories are breaking barriers, redefining the faces of leadership, and showcasing the innovative contributions women bring to the industry.
“This year’s Power 100 selection process was extraordinarily competitive, which speaks volumes about the depth of talent across our industry. The women recognized on this list are leaders, innovators, mentors, and changemakers who are shaping the future of security every day,” said Candice Aragon, chair of the SIA Women in Security Forum, co-chair of the WISF IlluminateHER Subcommittee, and chief experience officer at PSA. “It was especially inspiring to see so many male allies nominate their female colleagues, demonstrating that advancing women in security is truly a shared commitment.”
The Power 100 announcement comes alongside the celebration of International Women’s Day, a global day recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and presenting a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. SIA launched the SIA Women in Security Forum on International Women’s Day in 2018.
