years – their time, feedback, and trust – that we’ve been inspired
to give back by supporting the next generation of tech leaders,”
said John Bennett, General Manager, Identity and Access Business at
LogMeIn. “A STEM education is critical to helping close the
skills gap facing the constantly evolving nature of the security
industry. This scholarship is part of our ongoing commitment to
improving the future of cybersecurity. And who knows – someday the
winner could be a LastPass developer
at LogMeIn.”
