eSentire Inc., a leader in Active Threat Protection solutions and managed security services, took home the award for 2015 Best IT Security Service at the prestigious HFM US Hedge Fund Services Awards.

The HFMWeek US Hedge Fund Services Awards were held October 22, 2015 in New York City and celebrated hedge fund technology providers that have raised the bar in their respective services over the past 12 months. The awards recognize and reward those that have outperformed their peers and demonstrated impressive customer service and product development.

In the face of a drastically changing cybersecurity space, particularly in the financial services sector, eSentire has continued to innovate and enhance our services to ensure our clients are protected and can operate their business with confidence in knowing we are there to shield them from emerging threats,” said Eldon Sprickerhoff, founder and chief security strategist at eSentire. “In 2015, eSentire introduced new services to advise our clients on current cybersecurity protocols and governance, and consistently demonstrate our leadership in this space by adapting to the needs of our clients while managing the next risk on the horizon.”
