SIA Women in Security Forum

On April 4, 2025, the SIA Women in Security Forum hosted a motivating keynote event at #ISCWest. Attendees networked with other inspiring women in security and heard a dynamic 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. During this event, we also recognized and celebrated the inspiring women leaders honored in the SIA #WISFPower100. Thanks to all who joined us, to Kate Maxwell for sharing your insights, to our generous event sponsors dormakaba and HID and to our inspiring Power 100 honorees! #securityindustry ISC Security Events #WISF #WomenInSecurity Security Industry Association (SIA)

🎉Just announced: The agenda is live for #SecurityLeadHER 2025! ✨SIA and ASIS International are bringing this year's Security LeadHER, a special event dedicated to advancing, connecting and empowering #WomenInSecurity to Detroit, Michigan, June 9-10. 💎This carefully crafted program represents a comprehensive professional development opportunity for women in security this year. 💜“Security LeadHER 2025 represents an extraordinary gathering where the industry’s established and emerging ‘LeadHERs’ converge to shape the future of security,” said SIA WISF Chair Alice DiSanto. “This carefully curated experience transcends the traditional conference model by creating meaningful connections across all security sectors. What makes this event remarkable is not just the world-class education, empowerment and insights participants gain, but also the robust network of relationships that forms when a community unites under one roof. The conversations that begin here ripple throughout organizations and across the industry long after the event concludes.” 🔗You can view key agenda highlights and hear from SIA and ASIS leaders at the link in the comments! #securityindustry Security Industry Association (SIA) #WISF

This year's SIA Women in Security Forum #Essentials4JobSecurity Giveback at #ISCWest was an incredible success, thanks to an amazing team of UpliftHER subcommittee volunteers and some energized individuals and companies that generously supported our cause. We collected a record amount of clothing and accessories to donate to Dress for Success Southern Nevada (far exceeding our goal of 2,000 items), as well as $2,000 in gift cards to TJ Maxx; provided over 1,000 notes of encouragement that will be included with outfits when women "shop" at the Dress for Success boutique; and hosted a group of women on Friday at the show to expose them to potential careers in the #securityindustry. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort! ISC Security Events Margie Gurwin Katie Krug Security Industry Association (SIA)
