A Texas-based telecommunications giant is building out a Charlotte cybersecurity office, with dozens of employees already hired, the Charlotte Business Journal reports.
AT&T Inc. is expanding its Chief Security Office in Charlotte, where it plans to hire 200 cybersecurity professionals and establish a permanent base at Innovation Park. AT&T’s security team moved into a temporary space at 8505 IBM Drive in the University City area in January and will transition into a renovated, permanent office in the same building later this summer, the company said.
The Chief Security Office will total 41,600 square feet, an AT&T spokesperson told CBJ. The space will house all Charlotte-based cybersecurity employees once renovations are complete.
