INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO):  Rook Security, a provider of global information technology (IT) security solutions, has announced plans to expand its operations in Indianapolis, creating up to 132 new “high-wage” jobs by 2024.

“Today Indiana is leading the Midwest’s transformation as a destination for technology,” said Governor Mike Pence. “We’re witnessing firms with national reputations like Rook Security repeatedly choose to create great, high-paying jobs in Indiana in part because of the knowledgeable, creative workforce that calls Indiana home. Through our commitment to retaining and attracting top talent through the Indiana Regional Cities Initiative, that’s a Hoosier workforce that will only continue to grow.”

Rook Security will invest $589,000 to upgrade and purchase new technology equipment and hardware for its corporate headquarters at 120 E. Market St. in downtown Indianapolis. This will allow the company to outfit additional associates in order to keep pace with sales growth. 

Rook Security, which relocated to Indianapolis from Silicon Valley, California in 2010, currently employs 53 Hoosiers. The company expects to begin hiring for development, sales and consulting positions this fall. Interested applicants may apply online at www.rooksecurity.com/careers.
