Cybersecurity provider Advantio is to establish a base in Sligo on the suggestion of Ciarán McGloin, an adviser to the company.

Privately owned Advantio, established in 2009, will be  recruiting for full-time roles in product management, security consulting, project management, customer success and HR teams.

Chief executive Marco Borza said: “Our new Sligo operation and Security Operations Centre (SOC) allows us to enhance our Managed Detection and Response capabilities, build further capacity for our aGuard Payment Cloud operation where we operate and keep our clients’ fintech applications secure and compliant, and ensure that we’re able to continue to service our growing customer base across Europe. 

"Ciaran McGloin, a Sligo native and managing director of our advisors, Novacies Capital, was key in helping us spot this opportunity and spinning key operations into Sligo.

“We want to give new graduates in the north-west an opportunity to pursue a career in cybersecurity whilst staying close to their roots, and to attract talented and experienced people back to the region,” Borza added.
