Online security company to hire 150

A US cybersecurity firm is to create 150 jobs in Cork city centre over the next three years, it has confirmed.

Cylance describes itself as a company “that is revolutionising cybersecurity with products and services that use artificial intelligence to proactively prevent, rather than just reactively detect advanced persistent threats and malware”.

It is opening its new Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operations centre on South Mall and is looking to fill roles in sales, sales engineering, and customer support and says it plans to add malware analysis and software development roles in the future.
