Cybersecurity company Integrity360 is set to create 200 jobs over the next three years after investing €8m in its new security operations centre in Dublin.
Around 50 of the new jobs will be based in Ireland, adding to around 100 already employed by the company in Ireland and approximately 500 across the wider group.

Ian Brown, CEO and chairman of Integrity360, said, “we are delighted to have made a further significant investment in Ireland with the opening of our new state-of-the-art facility in Sandyford, which includes our largest SOC.” The investment is another significant step in our growth plans as we look to expand our team, and enhance our service offering to help our customers stay ahead of the merging threat landscape. It will allow us to further strengthen our position across Europe and the UK as a leading cyber security specialist.”

The company has made a number of acquisitions in recent years after receiving majority strategic investment from leading London-based private equity firm August Equity, taking over Caretower in the UK, Netsecure in Sweden, and Advantio which operates across continental Europe.
