The new roles are expected to be in the areas of cybersecurity, network services and sales.
Irish Cybersecurity company Paradyn Group has today (22 November) announced plans to create 20 new jobs in Cork and Dublin over the course of the next two years. Within this timeframe the organisation also expects to grow its revenue from €9m to €13m, across both Paradyn and Vault 365.
Paradyn, which was founded in 2018, has offices in Cork and Dublin and is a cybersecurity company that offers consultancy, monitoring and support. The new roles, which are primarily in cybersecurity, network services and sales, will be spread out over two years, as Paradyn anticipates significant growth in cybersecurity support, backup and disaster recovery and cyber framework consultancy.
The company also explained that “this growth is being driven by a lack of in-house cybersecurity resources among customers, an increasing focus on cybersecurity best practices and requirements around legislation such as the NIS2 Directive on cybersecurity.” There are also plans to rapidly expand the platform’s customer base by 25pc, focusing on enterprise, local and central government.
The CEO and co-founder of Paradyn, Cillian McCarthy, welcomed the news, stating that the company is on an exciting growth trajectory and perfectly positioned to tackle ever-complex cybersecurity risks.
“Across the board, we are seeing an increased demand from customers for specialist cybersecurity solutions and services, and the need for high quality technical talent remains at an all-time high. To meet evolving needs, we are expanding our team to enable our customers to grow and succeed, safe in the knowledge that their critical and sensitive data is protected.
“In addition, with our deep experience in rolling out cybersecurity frameworks, Paradyn is well positioned to advise on and implement the necessary steps to ensure that our customers are compliant with changing regulations such as NIS2. We are looking forward to growing our technology expertise and continuing to roll out new and enhanced services to both new and existing customers.”
In 2018, three Irish tech companies, Exigent Networks, Irish Telecom and Netforce merged to become Paradyn.
