Rubrik, the zero trust data security company, has officially opened a new office in Cork, Ireland, as part of its continued investment in the region and wider mission to secure the world’s data. 

Rubrik will move its current office in the IDA Ireland Science and Technology Park to a larger space to accommodate its sustained growth in Ireland and Europe.

The news comes as Rubrik’s Zero Labs report recently revealed that 94% of EMEA organisations are concerned they will be unable to maintain business continuity if they experience a cyber attack. 

What’s more the expansion will enable the company to continue fostering future talent through intern and graduate programs with local universities, including University College Cork and Munster Technological University. 

“Cybersecurity, and recovering from ransomware in particular, is a top concern of both the business and government sectors at the current time and Rubrik is an established leader in the industry,” said Minister for Finance Michael McGrath attending the opening. “I am pleased to see Rubrik experience such strong growth since its establishment in Cork in 2017 and I welcome its continued investment in nurturing talent, underpinned by its close partnership with local universities.”

Giri Iyer, chief customer officer at Rubrik, said: “The depth of talent we are able to access in Ireland has driven significant local growth. When we originally announced expansion to the region in 2018 we had plans for 50 new jobs in Cork. Since then, we have nearly doubled this headcount across engineering, customer support, and sales. The expansion of our customer services hub and other critical functions means we can help even more enterprises in EMEA tackle the ongoing threat of ransomware.”

Dr Patrick McCarthy, programme director, Munster Technological University said: “We are extremely focused on closing the cybersecurity and multi-cloud skills gaps. Our collaboration with an industry-leading organisation, like Rubrik, in achieving these objectives and developing the next generation of local talent in these areas is critical, both within the region and beyond.”

Headquartered in California, Rubrik opened in Cork in 2017.
