Align has been awarded Best Cyber Resilience Solution in the 2025 FTF News Awards.

Align Managed Services offers a comprehensive Managed IT Services Stack with built in cybersecurity solutions focused on the financial services and alternative investment community. Its Cybersecurity offering is designed to address the evolving threat landscape and meet the stringent compliance requirements in the financial services industry. This includes Align Guardian, a Next-Generation Managed Detection and Response (MDR) tool powered by Adlumin (an N-able company), that keeps organizations safe from constantly evolving cyber-attacks that traditional security defenses simply cannot detect. With 24x7x365 monitoring by Security Operations Center (SOC) protecting against known and unknown threats in real time, Align’s clients are protected by continuous hunting, detection, and response to threats.

Cybersecurity is a core priority for us, and we’re honored to be recognized by FTF News,” said Vinod Paul, President of Align Managed Services. “Our goal is to deliver robust, evolving cybersecurity solutions so our clients can focus fully on growing their business — without distraction or concern over data security. As the regulatory landscape tightens and cyber threats become more sophisticated, we remain committed to staying ahead, adapting in step with our clients and the industry to provide the protection and peace of mind they need to succeed.”

In 2024, Align added two major improvements to its Align Guardian solution targeted at ransomware prevention, and exfiltration detection and response. The innovative ransomware detection solution is designed to detect and halt ransomware in its tracks, safeguarding files from encryption and providing organizations with the peace of mind to focus on their core business operations. The cutting-edge exfiltration prevention feature is designed to quickly detect and stop attackers from exfiltrating data, providing a defense against modern ransomware tactics that employ double-extortion techniques.
