FOSTER CITY, Calif., Oct. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Exabeam, the leader in next-gen SIEM and XDR, today announced the winners of its third annual Cybersecurity Scholarship Program. With an emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and closing the security skills gap, Exabeam's third annual scholarship is designed to support the next generation of professionals pursuing an education and career in the security field. This year's winners are Bryan Alvarez, who studies computer science at University of Houston, and Andrew Loaiza, who studies engineering at The University of Kansas.

According to "The Life and Times of the Cybersecurity Professional 2021," a research report by the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), the cybersecurity skills crisis has continued its downward, multi-year trend. Additionally, the cybersecurity industry lacks diversity. According to a report by (ISC)2, minority cybersecurity professionals hold fewer leadership roles than their counterparts.

Recognizing its responsibility to help with these issues, Exabeam founded the Exabeam Cares program, which invests in various give-back programs focused on diversity, inclusion, and education. The Exabeam Cybersecurity Scholarship Program is part of this broader effort, and this year, for the first time, Exabeam has also awarded the first-place winner a paid internship in the department of their choice along with a $10,000 scholarship. The second-place winner will be awarded $5,000.

Applicants were asked to submit academic transcripts along with a five-minute video covering various values-based questions that touched on their background, the importance of increasing diversity in cybersecurity, their experiences in cybersecurity to date, and any contributions they've already made to the field. Exabeam is thrilled to share that Alvarez, the first-place winner, has accepted an internship in the Exabeam Engineering department. In addition, Loaiza has accepted and will be applying his $5,000 award to continued studies in cybersecurity. Both winners have demonstrated that they are up to the challenge of embarking on a distinguished career in the cybersecurity industry.

"Exabeam walks the talk when it comes to supporting our community and aspiring security professionals. Awarding scholarship funds and real-life, paid work experience provides a unique opportunity to break into the cybersecurity industry with a world-class company," said Adam Geller, chief product officer at Exabeam. "I have no doubt that Bryan and Andrew, who have both shown great passion and integrity, will make the most of this opportunity and be excellent examples of our values for future cybersecurity scholars to follow. It fills us with pride to play such a huge role in our winners' developing careers."
