Tech firm ordered to pay ex-director €105k

A US cyber security firm has been ordered to pay a former senior director of its Cork operations €105,000 for his unfair dismissal.

In the case, the Californian headquartered AlienVault admitted to the unfair dismissal of Emmet Florish from its Cork branch in June 2015.

Mr Florish was seeking reinstatement as he believed the stock options he was awarded to be of a high value should the company announce an initial public offering.
