New Israeli location to employ more than 100 new employees
focused on stopping cyberthreats and enabling partners, ensuring
organizations in the region and around the world are
protected
SINGAPORE, 25 June 2021 - Acronis, a global leader in
cyber protection, has
announced the opening of a new office in Herzliya, Israel with
plans to invest around $80 million into the country during the next
five years. This new office will focus on conducting
cybersecurity research and development, enabling Acronis partners
with local sales, marketing, technical, and educational support, as
well as, recruiting and activating new cloud partners. The office also expands the company's
global network of Acronis Cyber Protection Operations Centers
(CPOCs).
This announcement comes just weeks after a $250 million funding
round that raised the company's valuation to more than $2.5
billion. Some of that new funding will be directed to the Herzliya
office to recruit staff and support regional partners. Acronis
plans to recruit more than
100 highly skilled engineers, scientists, and cybersecurity
professionals for the new location. Another focus of investing will be on growing the
number of cloud aggregators, distributors, and service providers in
the region, where the company has had a presence since
2008.
The new office is the latest in a series of announcements
regarding Acronis' expansion in the region. Acronis acquired the
Israeli cybersecurity firm CyberLynx Security at the end of last
year and opened a new data center in Israel in April.
"Acronis' strategic move into Israel reflects the fact this
region will play a major role in our future success and we have
tremendous trust in the talent of the Israeli high-tech industry,"
said the CEO and founder of Acronis. "This new Israeli
center will be at the forefront of cyber protection research and
development, becoming one of the key sites in our international
network of research centers, alongside our Swiss, Singaporean,
Bulgarian, and North American locations."
The Israeli office will be led by General Manager Gili Moller,
who has more than 15 years of experience in R&D and product
management in Israel-based technology companies.
"Acronis is committed to setting the standard for modern cyber
protection, which merges cybersecurity and data protection into one
solution," said Moller. "Our team in Israel will now be at the
heart of that revolution, as we provide partners and customers with
a single solution that covers all five stages of their protection -
prevention, detection, response, recovery, and forensics."
To support Acronis' aggressive hiring goals, Acronis will
collaborate with the business community and top Israeli
universities to establish workforce pipeline initiatives, R&D
collaborations, and training and mentoring guidance to help
existing employees with their professional development.
A list of positions to be filled at the new office in Israel is
available here.
