This year, our Security magazine editors had the privilege of speaking with 12 extremely talented, dedicated and skilled women within the security industry.

We received our highest level of nominations yet for Security’s 2022 Women in Security program, and we are honored and humbled by the number of security leaders who are accomplishing great things within their organizations and the greater security industry as a whole.

Female security professionals come from varied backgrounds, just like all security leaders, and their stories are unique and diverse. Here, we attempt to give readers a small glimpse into the professional journeys, challenges, perspectives and accomplishments of a few women who continue to positively impact their organizations, their specialties, the security industry, and the future generation of security leaders.

Read on to learn about the 2022 Women in Security!
