The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named Alcatraz CEO Tina D’Agostint its 2026 Women in Security Forum Power 100, recognizing her as one of the leading women shaping the future of the global security industry.
This marks the second time Tina has been honored on the list, which celebrates women who are breaking barriers, advancing new technologies and serving as role models for the next generation of security leaders.
Tina has led Alcatraz’s growth, positioning the company as a driving force in access control. Over the past year, the company has achieved a 200% year-over-year increase in new enterprise customers, more than fivefold expansion across Fortune 500 deployments and over 300% year-over-year growth in data center adoption. Today, Alcatraz protects more than five million employees worldwide across major company campuses, data centers powering the world’s largest AI firms, financial institutions, stadiums and other critical infrastructure.
Under her leadership, the company has expanded key partnerships and driven incredible innovation. The company is using technology to tackle one of the industry’s biggest challenges: tailgating. New depth-model technology embedded directly into its Rock devices improves unauthorized entry detection without adding friction for authorized users.
Tina was also recently appointed the Co-Chair of the Bay Area Council’s Public Safety Committee, where she advances public-private initiatives to modernize physical security infrastructure. She is also a member of the Biometric Institute, underscoring her commitment to advancing biometric innovation with integrity, accountability and trust.
“This year’s Power 100 selection process was extraordinarily competitive, which speaks volumes about the depth of talent across our industry,” said Candice Aragon, chair of the SIA Women in Security Forum. “The women recognized on this list are leaders, innovators, mentors and changemakers who are shaping the future of security every day. 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.”
Established in 2018, SIA’s Women in Security Forum is a community that works to engage all security professionals to promote, recruit and cultivate women’s leadership for a bolder presence within the industry.
