US Firm To Create 94 Jobs In Belfast
Almost 100 new jobs are to be created in Belfast by US-based security firm Proofpoint Inc.
Announcing the jobs, Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister Arlene Foster welcomed an investment of more than £6m being made by the Proofpoint – a leading security-as-a-service vendor that delivers data protection solutions.
The Minister announced the company's Belfast operation will become the Research and Development and Operations Centre for Proofpoint Essentials and will act as an Operations and Support Hub for Proofpoint's global customer base in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Proofpoint Essentials is a suite of SaaS security and compliance solutions specifically designed for small- and medium- sized enterprises.
Arlene Foster said: "This investment follows Proofpoint Inc.'s acquisition of local company, Mail Distiller Limited, last year.
"Proofpoint recognised the benefits of establishing a European centre here, including the availability of high quality technical and sales staff, as well as the high-speed telecoms links between Northern Ireland, North America and Europe."
