Cybersecurity service provider Paradyn said it plans to create 20 new jobs in Cork and Dublin over the next two years to meet increased demand for its services.
The new roles are being created in the areas of cybersecurity, network services and sales.
Paradyn said this will enable it to provide an enhanced service portfolio to its customers across both the Irish and UK markets.
News of the jobs comes as the company expects to grow its revenues from €9m to €13m across Paradyn and Vault365, the data backup and recovery specialist.
Over the new two years, Paradyn expects the highest growth in cybersecurity support, backup and disaster recovery, and cyber framework consultancy.
It said 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.
The company expects to increase its customer base by 25% in the next two years, with a particular focus on enterprise, local government, and central government.
It will also be expanding its 24/7 support services for customers.
Cillian McCarthy, CEO of Paradyn, said the company are on an exciting path of continued growth as cyber risks become ever more complex.
"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," the CEO said.
"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," he added.
