It was announced today that AlienVault has opened its new EMEA Sales and Technical Support Centre in Capitol Building on Washington Street, Cork.

The provider of Unified Security Management solutions and crowd-sourced threat intelligence plans to add up to 50 highly skilled roles in the next 2 years to its existing team in Cork. 
 
The California based company established a sales and technical support centre in Cork City in 2014. In response to its growth in the EMEA Region, the company has moved to the newly developed Capitol Building on Washington Street, Cork City where it has space to accommodate up to 100 staff.
 
AlienVault was named one of Deloitte’s “Technology Fast 500,” companies in North America for the fifth consecutive year, and was also named in the first-ever Forbes Cloud 100, a list of the best 100 Cloud Companies in the world. 
 
President and CEO of AlienVault, Barmak Meftah was joined by Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Simon Coveney, IDA Ireland executives and invited guests at the ribbon cutting ceremony in the company’s new office today. 
 
Welcoming the announcement, the Minister for Jobs Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell O'Connor said, "I welcome the announcement of an additional 50 highly skilled jobs in Cork over the next two years. The ICT Sector has made huge advances in recent years but these advances bring their own challenges and that is where companies like AlienVault come in. These jobs are an additional boost to the 6,000 plus already working in cyber security in Ireland. I look forward to watching your company thrive and grow in the coming years."
