Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry.
Align Managed Services helps hedge funds, private equity firms, and family offices manage technology, cybersecurity, cloud, and operational risks through an integrated service model. Combining managed IT, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, operational due diligence preparedness, and AI governance, Align embeds risk management into day-to-day operations through standardized controls, continuous monitoring, and governance-driven reporting.

Align also helps firms evaluate AI-related risks and establish governance controls to support secure, responsible adoption aligned with regulatory and operational requirements.
“For years, our clients have trusted us to exceed their expectations, and that trust is earned from the very start. We build client-specific, solution-focused approaches early in every engagement and carry them through to delivery. That consistency is what sets us apart and makes us a true value center for firms operating in a highly regulated industry,” said Vinod Paul, President of Align Managed Services. “We’re grateful to CyberSecurity Breakthrough for this recognition. We’ll keep delivering results-oriented solutions that help our clients reduce risk, streamline operations and get more from their business intelligence, especially as many of them embrace AI.”
In this landmark 10th year, the 2026 awards program received thousands of nominations from organizations in more than 20 countries around the world, representing breakthrough technologies from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.
“Align is bringing innovation, cybersecurity, and technology strategy within the financial services industry. In highly regulated environments, technology, cybersecurity, operational resilience, investor due diligence, and governance are deeply interconnected. However, most organizations rely on multiple tools and platforms to address each of these challenges,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “By connecting cybersecurity, operational resilience, governance, and technology strategy into a single framework, Align delivers a risk management solution that is practical, scalable, and tailored to the unique needs of the alternative investment industry.”
