‘Reputation as technology hub reaffirmed’ as 300 jobs unveiled

The decision by a global software security firm to create 150 engineering jobs in Cork reaffirms Ireland’s reputation as a global technology hub, ICT Ireland said yesterday.

FireEye’s announcement that it was establishing its European technical support centre at an unidentified location in the city, came as marketing software company Hub Spot also officially announced the creation of around 150 jobs in Dublin.

FireEye is described as a “leading provider of software protection against web and email next-generation security threats”.
