DENVER — March 26, 2025 — Optiv, the cyber advisory and solutions leader, today announced Senior Corporate Responsibility Manager Amber Peacher was named to the 2025 honoree list for the SIA Women in Security Forum Power 100 by the Security Industry Association (SIA).

This initiative, presented by the SIA Women in Security Forum (WISF), 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.

“It is such an honor to be a part of this powerful group of women. I’m excited to be recognized for the community impact work I have the privilege to lead at Optiv,” said Peacher. “In an industry where women are still underrepresented, this recognition is especially meaningful to me. It’s a testament to the power of dedication, resilience and passion in breaking barriers. I hope this serves as a catalyst for future generations of women in cybersecurity to forge their own paths and lead with confidence.”

Since joining Optiv in 2011, Peacher has made a lasting impact on the company and the communities it serves. In 2018, she founded Optiv Chips In, a community impact program that promotes volunteerism, charity events and technology education. Last year, she led the opening of four STEAM Labs in Denver, Kansas City, Toronto and Bangalore, India, providing underserved students with access to technology, including 3D printers, laser cutters, iPads, computers and Wi-Fi.

"We are incredibly proud to celebrate Amber’s recognition as one of the 2025 Women in Security Forum Power 100. Her leadership and commitment to driving meaningful change reflects the core values of our brand. At Optiv, we believe progress comes from those who challenge norms and create opportunities for others — qualities Amber exemplifies every day,” said Heather Rim, Optiv’s chief marketing officer.
