    Are you looking for internal IT or consultancy?

    Internal IT security is too long to list

    Consultancy:
    Big 4 (Deloitte, PWC, EY, KPMG)
    Integrity
    Ward
    Rits
    Espion
    Some others that I may be forgetting

    Qualcom in Cork have they're own team based here. Buddy works as member of that team. Most of the others here in cork operate Sec from out of the territory nested in USA , basically where ever head office of a firm is , you would tend to see the sec group operate from that location , Chinese or Japanese owned would nest in they're own territory for obvious reasons.

    There's also some vendors hanging around, the likes of FireEye/Mandiant would have lots of security specific roles.

    Most of the larger financial firms would have security teams. They're usually found in HQ type places, so there won't be many in regional offices. Some multinationals may have security teams outside Dublin, but none spring to mind in the West (couple in Cork e.g. McAfee).

    Another route into this would be through IT audit, and you'll sometimes find them in regional offices of the Big 4 accountants in particular.

    Think of a company that has a lot of computers and they have one.

    What searching have you done yourself?

    I work for a very large company and we have a dedicated sec team. I actually work with this sec team occasionally around PCI compliance and such.
    I'd say that any large company with web presence have at least a small team to handle sec issues and liaise with various vendors brought in from outside.
