Case Study: Align Communications achieves streamlined, enterprise-class MDR and faster threat detection with eSentire

Align Communications - Customer Case Study

Align Communications, a New York City–based managed service provider serving investment management and financial services firms, faced a cybersecurity talent gap: its smaller hedge fund and family‑office customers needed enterprise‑class 24x7 SOC monitoring and rapid incident response that they couldn’t afford to build internally. To close that gap without heavy capital investment, Align partnered with eSentire and selected eSentire’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for Network as the foundation of its elevated security service offering.

eSentire implemented its zero‑latency IPS/IDS, always‑on full packet capture, machine‑learning analytics and 24x7 SOC analysts to deliver automated alerts, playbooks and active response on Align’s behalf. The result: streamlined, lower‑cost 24x7x365 monitoring, faster incident detection and shrunk response times, regulatory‑ready reporting that satisfies auditors, and higher client satisfaction thanks to a single escalation path to eSentire and co‑managed remediation.
