The new staff in Ireland will work remotely at the beginning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the company plans to establish an office in the east of the country once the restrictions ease.
The company works with over 2,000 clients globally on enterprise-level security products. It said the new office will support growth in Europe, helping to deliver its zero-trust, date storage and ringfencing tools to businesses through managed service providers in the EMEA region.
Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker says, “Organisations are rapidly accelerating their digital transformations, while facing an ever-shifting cybersecurity landscape and increasing threats.”
“This combination is driving huge demand for enterprise-level security from organisations that previously did not have the resources or means to procure them. We are excited to plant our stake in the ground and help more organisations across Europe to gain the breadth of security needed to operate in the digital economy.”
Rob Allen, who has over two decades of experience working with MSPs in Ireland in areas such as viruses, malicious software and ransomware will lead the new office. As vice-president of operations for EMEA at ThreatLocker, he will now lead hiring, regional growth and development.
Rob Allen says, “I’m thrilled to join this fast-growing team and help MSPs across Europe and the UK to improve the cybersecurity posture of their customers and to mitigate growing risks.”
ThreatLocker focuses on the security of endpoints and servers. The company was founded in 2015 and last year, they raised $4.4m in dept and equity for its expansion.

Sandness continues: “Our new facility in Galway underscores HID Global’s commitment to steadily expand our operations, R&D, supply chain, customer service, IT, finance, and other business functions to support a growing customer base across EMEA.

The sports management platform Clubforce has announced, on the back of a €2.5m investment, it will be hiring for a scrum master, full-stack developers and more.
Clubforce is a software platform which helps sports organisations to manage data, communications and funds and they have announced 20 new jobs. The company will double its headcount in the UK and Ireland to 40 people on the back of the investment.

Available as both a mobile and desktop app, Clubforce enables its users to collaborate on sports participation with visual reports. It current works with over 2,000 clubs, including the FAI and GAA.
New hires will aid Clubforce respond to ‘unprecedented demand’ fuelled by the pandemic, it said, and build its existing club management system into a ‘complete sports participation system’. The company’s goal is to bring sports clubs, governing bodies and club members together more efficiently.
Warren Healy, Clubforce founder and CEO, said: “Sports organisations were already feeling a certain level of strain before the pandemic struck. Grassroots sports relies heavily on volunteers who tend to be time-poor and the pandemic has made the role far more challenging”.
“Our plan is to provide these volunteers with a significant number of additional tools to simply make their roles easier. We know that volunteer tasks are an increasing challenge and we’re helping sports clubs to solve these challenges. The volunteers are the fulcrum around which everything else rotates in amateur sports.”
Carole Neylon, the company’s CFO, Carole Neylon, said the recent investment will help Clubforce align its products around participation management and drive international growth.
“Demand across the country and overseas has gone through the roof in recent months because of good marketing, good products and the effects of the pandemic,” Neylon said. “The investment and ongoing recruitment drive will give us everything we need to develop a world-class product for our loyal and increasing customer base.”
