Software firm Lumension is to create 20 new jobs in Galway.
The company, which already employs 30 people at the Mervue Business and Technology Park in Galway city, develops software that helps firms protect their computer data.
Galway is home to the firm's international centre for product research and development, customer support and auxiliary services.
Making today's announcement, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation, Batt O'Keeffe, described Lumension’s expansion plans as ‘very encouraging for Ireland’s information communications technology sector’.
"The Galway operation is a key component of Lumension’s global activities and the software engineers should be very proud of their role in helping the firm to exceed its growth targets," he said.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Lumension has operations worldwide including Virginia, Texas, Utah, Florida, Luxembourg, the UK, Australia and Singapore.
