Ekco opens Dublin HQ in Grand Canal Dock
Managed service provider Ekco has officially opened its new headquarters at Grand Canal Dock in Dublin, featuring a state-of-the-art security operations centre (SOC).
The move comes as Ekco targets revenues exceeding €100 million in Ireland and €200 million globally by year-end 2025.
The Dublin site is Ekco’s third global SOC and builds on the success of its existing cyber security facilities in the UK and Malaysia. It will combine advanced threat detection capabilities with Ekco’s expert analysts to identify and respond to threats quickly, and protect businesses from evolving cyber risks. It will also support compliance and enable businesses to align with regulatory requirements, while safeguarding personal and company information.
The SOC can automatically take action when serious threats are detected, including isolating affected devices without the need for manual intervention, helping to ensure faster protection. Ekco’s incident response team has also grown in order to respond to security incidents more effectively, with responses to potential threats increasing by more than 200% over the past six months.
Following a number of strategic acquisitions in Ireland – amounting to seven in the last two years – the HQ will provide a central space for approximately 500 employees.
In addition, the company plans to expand its customer base in Ireland by 15% in 2026. This will include growth in the public, finance, legal, and professional services sectors. Ekco is also on a path of aggressive global growth and is continuing to expand in key international markets including the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the U.S.
Steve MacNicholas, CEO Ireland, Ekco, said: “The opening of our new Dublin headquarters signifies our commitment to safeguarding businesses and driving consistent growth for Ekco in Ireland. We are on an exciting acquisition path, supplemented by planned organic growth, and this new hub will provide a central location for employees to collaborate. Furthermore, as our team continues to grow internationally, this state-of-the-art facility cements our commitment to Ireland as a leader in cyber security.
“The launch of our third SOC represents a significant step for our business as we look to meet the ever-increasing demand for future-ready cyber security services. This will enable us to deliver an enhanced service to our customers, ultimately helping businesses to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats, and provide our solutions to an increased client base.”
