SIA Announces 2021 Women in Biometrics Award Winners
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named Marta García Gomar, chief technology officer for IDENTY Touchless ID, and Amy Turluck, director of the Biometrics Operations Directorate within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), as the 2021 winners of the Women in Biometrics Awards — a program co-founded by SIA and co-presented with sponsors IDEMIA and the SIA Women in Security Forum. These distinguished biometrics and security leaders were recognized on Sept. 21 during the 2021 SIA GovSummit, SIA’s annual public policy and government security technology conference.
The Women in Biometrics Awards honor the efforts of top female leaders helping drive the biometric identity and security industry. Nominees and past winners include those working for biometric companies, peripheral suppliers, systems integrators, academia, government and security and IT departments at a variety of organizations in the United States and internationally.
