Chicago cybersecurity software firm Keeper Security is planning a major hiring spree in 2019.
Keeper announced Wednesday that it plans to add 130 new jobs in Chicago over the next six months, tripling its current headcount. It's also relocating to a new office in the West Loop to accommodate growth.
Founded in 2011, Keeper has created a password management service for consumers and businesses. The company's offerings also include dark web monitoring, digital file storage and secure messaging.
Keeper had a busy 2018, as it saw triple digit B2B customer growth and now works with more than 7,000 business, the company says. The company has more than 15 million users in over 100 countries who use its password management software.
"As savvy businesses of all sizes and industries realize that cybersecurity starts with password security, we're experiencing increased demand for our business solutions and are quickly adding top talent to our team to support that need," Keeper CEO Darren Guccione said in a statement.
Along with moving to a new Chicago headquarters---a 16,000 sq. ft. space at 820 West Jackson Blvd.---Keeper is also planning to relocate and expand its other offices in El Dorado Hills, California, and Cork, Ireland.
Keeper says its new roles will be in inside sales, enterprise sales, sales operations, sales engineering, product training and customer support.
