McAfee mark major milestone

A company well known for its online protection services is this week celebrating 20 years on Leeside.

Since its arrival in Cork in 2004, a McAfee spokesperson said it has grown and evolved while adding that it is going from strength to strength. Fiona Murphy, International Controller and Director, McAfee Ireland, said: "We are thrilled to celebrate 20 years of McAfee operations in Cork. Our success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, as well as the trust and loyalty of our customers. We look forward to continuing our journey and making a positive impact in the community for many more years to come."

Ray O’Connor, Department Manager, Regional Business Development, IDA Ireland said: “McAfee is one of the earliest cyber security companies to establish in the South West region and has been a significant contributor to the development of the cluster locally and nationally over the past two decades. It’s wonderful to celebrate 20 years of growth here in Cork. I wish McAfee continued success.”

Global roles are operated by the teams in Cork in key areas of research and development, engineering, finance, accounting, payroll, tax, and HR.
