In addition to opening an office in London in 2013 and a Security Operations Center (SOC) in Cardiff, Wales in 2015, Alert Logic has continued its expansion into EMEA with a security research and technology centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Today at a press conference in Belfast, Alert Logic CEO Gray Hall was joined by Finance Minister Mervyn Storey MLA where Invest Northern Ireland offered Alert Logic the ?572,000 grant.

“European companies are moving to the cloud in record numbers and they realise that security solutions built in the cloud, specifically for the cloud, coupled with 24x7 managed services, is the way to keep their sensitive data safe and secure,” said Gray Hall, CEO of Alert Logic. “We are thrilled to continue to expand our European presence and provide Security-as-a-Service solutions for EMEA business customers.”

Alert Logic’s Belfast office is a security research and technology centre, staffing employees in a variety of functions including threat intelligence, analytics and engineering.

“Cyber security and cloud security are two of the fastest growing sectors in the market and the highly educated, technical workforce in Belfast will help Alert Logic continue its rapid global growth,” said Mervyn Storey. “This support will help create high-quality jobs for the future and will further contribute to the dynamic, growing economy of Northern Ireland.”
