Towerwall, cybersecurity preparedness and consulting services firm, announced that its Founder and CEO Michelle Drolet was named to the inaugural SIA Women in Security Forum Power 100 honoree list sponsored by the Security Industry Association (SIA), a trade association for global security solution providers with over 1,200 member companies that help shape the future of the security industry.
New in 2022, this initiative presented by the SIA Women in Security Forum honors 100 women in the security industry each year who are role models for actively advancing diversity, inclusion, innovation and leadership in the community.
“The SIA Women in Security Forum is thrilled to recognize Michelle Drolet as one of the women of the 2022 Power 100 – an accomplished, impactful group who are modeling leadership, inspiring others and shaping and transforming the security industry,” said SIA Women in Security Forum Chair Kasia Hanson.
“Since our founding in 1999 as a women-owned business we made diversity, equity and inclusion a cornerstone of our corporate culture,” said Drolet. “Working with colleges we’ve help fund scholarships for students interested in cybersecurity as well as being actively involved with social programs like Young Women and Minorities in Science and Technology and Athena, a girl’s mentorship program. This year we supported the new Lauro Garner Cybersecurity Scholarship for women and minority students.”
The Power 100 was announced on International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and presenting a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
