Jobs boost for Cork
A Cork based cybersecurity solutions company yesterday, Wednesday, announced the creation of 50 jobs.
Smarttech247 said it is set to hire 50 more people as growth continues in key international markets. The Cork-based company now has offices across Ireland, the United Kingdom, Romania, Poland and the US and currently employs over 200 people across all of its operations. The new roles are spread across positions in technical support, sales, marketing, and partner support.
Ireland’s nominee for the country’s next EU commissioner, and Cork South Central TD Deputy Michael McGrath said now is an extremely important time for firms like Smarttech247. “This is a Europe-wide issue and thanks to my time as a senior cabinet minister, I’m acutely aware of the complex cybersecurity challenges facing public and private sector organisations.
“We all have a responsibility to guard against malicious cyber activity and it’s great to see Irish firms like Smarttech247 leading the way in tackling the latest developments in what we all realise is an evolving landscape. I’m delighted to see Raluca and her team launch a fresh round of recruiting and wish them the very best as they continue to expand.”
CEO of Smarttech247 Raluca Saceanu said the company is focused on continuously finding new ways to protect customers. “This is a transformative moment for Smarttech247. Our new route to market strategy not only accelerates our growth but also reinforces our commitment to delivering best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to our customers. By creating strategic partnerships and leveraging the expertise of our channel partners, we are poised to scale our operations globally while continuing to innovate and lead in the cybersecurity space.”
