Expel, a leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider, has announced plans to establish a fully remote workforce in Ireland, creating up to 50 high-skilled cybersecurity jobs over the next three years.
Expel’s investment is part of its on-going expansion strategy into the EMEA market and aims to tap into Ireland’s technology ecosystem and skilled talent pool.
With a diverse customer base spanning industries such as aviation, technology and professional sports, Expel’s move into Ireland marks a significant milestone in its global expansion efforts.
Expel is trusted by some of the world’s most recognisable brands for their cybersecurity needs. The company combines world-class security practitioners and its AI-driven platform, Expel Workbench, to provide visibility for cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments.
This strategic expansion into Ireland underscores the country’s reputation as a global hub for technology and cybersecurity innovation. As Expel continues to strengthen its foothold in EMEA since its initial expansion into the market in late 2022, collaboration with IDA Ireland and this investment highlights a cornerstone for the future of cybersecurity technology and the accompanying booming workforce in the region.
Emer Higgins, Minister of State for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, said: “We are delighted to welcome this investment in Ireland’s growing cybersecurity sector. The establishment of Expel’s remote workforce, creating 50 new high-quality jobs, demonstrates the strength of Ireland’s position as a hub for innovation and digital expertise. This commitment not only reinforces our reputation as a leader in the tech industry but also provides valuable opportunities for skilled professionals across the country. We look forward to supporting Expel’s continued success and growth in Ireland.”
Cat Starkey, Chief Technology Officer of Expel, said: “Ireland offers the rare mix of a world-class technology infrastructure, a highly talented workforce, and a cybersecurity culture that aligns with our own, making our decision to invest in growing our team there an easy one. We’re thrilled to grow our presence in Ireland, and we look forward to welcoming some of the world’s best cybersecurity professionals and engineers as Expletives.” Michael Lohan, CEO of IDA Ireland said: “Cybersecurity continues to be an important cluster across Ireland, and we are a recognised destination of choice for global tech companies. Expel’s decision to establish operations here is a testament to the strength of our talent and technology ecosystem. We are delighted to welcome Expel and look forward to supporting their growth as they create new opportunities in cybersecurity, a critical industry for our economy and the wider global market.”
