Date published:
Wrapping up a week of engagements in the US, Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald has announced that mobile security company, iVerify, is expanding its operations and support team in Belfast.
iVerify offers an advanced mobile endpoint detection and response security tool that protects mobile devices from modern mobile threats such as mercenary spyware and SIM swapping. The company was founded in 2023 and currently employs over 40 staff globally.
Making the announcement while visiting the company’s headquarters in New York, Minister Archibald said:
“Foreign direct investment plays an important part in building our economic success. Over the past week I have met with business leaders and potential investors to showcase the many advantages of doing business in the north, from our skilled workforce to our commitment to innovation and sustainability. iVerify’s reinvestment is a vote of confidence in this proposition.
“Invest NI has worked closely with iVerfiy to secure this investment. The new jobs will provide excellent opportunities for local talent. The company also plans to collaborate with our universities to develop placement and graduate roles – helping those at all stages of their careers.”
The company chose Northern Ireland for its expansion following consideration of several other locations including London, Manchester and Glasgow.
Danny Rogers, Co-Founder and CEO of iVerify said:
“We’re thrilled to expand our footprint in Belfast, which currently houses much of our engineering team. Northern Ireland stands out for its world-class tech sector, the exceptional talent pool we’ve pulled from to date, and excellent academic research facilities in the field of cyber security. We’re excited to continue investing in Northern Ireland.”
Invest NI is supporting the investment with financial support and investor services. Roles on offer with average salaries of £78,000 include full stack development engineers, support engineers and data analysts.
Anne Beggs, Chief Commercial Officer at Invest NI said:
“Invest NI is focused on building a strong, competitive economy that offers high-quality employment opportunities. iVerify’s reinvestment in Northern Ireland not only strengthens our global reputation for exceptional talent but also brings significant international visibility to our world-class skills base.
“Our inward investment team in the US and NI were instrumental in securing this reinvestment for Northern Ireland by providing iVerify with tailored support and guidance that showcased our compelling investment proposition.”
