Dublin, 6th September 2023 – Integrity360, the leading cyber security specialist in Ireland and the UK, today announces that it has invested €8 million in its new Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Dublin.

It is also equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure, along with modern collaboration areas, workspaces and meeting rooms.

This investment follows a number of acquisitions by Integrity360 in recent years. Back in June 2021, Integrity360 received a major strategic investment from leading London-based private equity firm August Equity. Since then, it has joined with Caretower, Netsecure and Advantio.

As well as expanding the organisation’s operations across the UK, the Nordics and continental Europe, these deals are expected to see the group turnover grow to €115 million in 2023, €45 million of which will be driven by operations in Ireland.

For some customers, through our Managed Detection and Response service and SOCs, we provide 24/7 monitoring and management of their IT networks.

This latest investment in our presence in Ireland and our SOC network is another significant step in our growth plans as we look to expand our team, enhance our offering and excel for customers in terms of incident detection and response. It will also allow us to further strengthen our position across Europe and the UK as a leading cyber security specialist.”
