McAfee Cork ‘problem-solving hub’

The Irish operation of software security giant McAfee is seen as a core problem-solving hub and one of the company’s most important bases, according to a senior company officer.

McAfee’s 350 Cork-based staff are among the firm’s most inventive thinkers and key drivers of change, according to senior vice-president of operations and chief information officer (CIO), Patty Hatter.

She was speaking at a Women In Security (Wise) event which aims to support women in business and establish McAfee — which was acquired by Intel in 2010 — as an industry leader in addressing diversity.
