“Neustar is committed to helping our customers promote and protect their brands, and we carry these concepts to our CSR program,” said Richard Louis, Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility at Neustar. “Through My Digital life, we help students learn how to use technology safely and encourage them to begin the process of pursuing careers in STEM fields.
