AI driven expertise leads to Company's recognition as a top MSSP provider for sixth year in a row

ECS, a provider of advanced technology solutions in data and AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise transformation, and one of six ASGN brands that will be unifying under the new Everforth brand (NYSE:ASGN), was recently ranked fourth on CyberRisk Alliance and MSSP Alert's Top 250 Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) list for 2025. Published annually, the list spotlights the world's leading providers of managed security services, managed detection and response (MDR), and security operations center-as-a-service (SOCaaS).

ECS — which has now placed in the top five MSSP Providers for three consecutive years — supports a wide range of verticals (including government agencies, state and local entities, healthcare, education, and commercial companies). The company has maintained its high annual ranking and standard of excellence by solving customers' most complex security challenges with customized, AI-driven security solutions.

AI-powered, holistic security

With highly diverse capabilities that span MDR, extended detection and response (XDR), SOCaaS, and more, ECS' managed solutions fuse AI, data analytics, and automation to deliver actionable intelligence that correlates threat activity to operational impact. This has ensured faster detection, superior contextualization, and smarter prioritization in response to threats and vulnerabilities.

ECS' AI-powered, holistic cybersecurity solutions include:

ECS Pathfinder™, an AI-powered cyber analytics platform, that allows organizations to better prioritize cyber risk and focus resources on the most pressing cyber threats
ECS' Advanced Research Center (ARC), which provides active threat intelligence and hunting to help customers better protect their networks against the most sophisticated cyber threats
Intel Exchange, a threat intelligence monitoring platform that unites cyber threat intelligence (CTI) with security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), to identify threats and preemptively mitigate risks
Knoesis™, an AI operations framework that integrates across security stacks to empower SOCs and boost cyber resilience.

"We are proud to be recognized as a leading MSSP for the sixth consecutive year," said Steve Hittle, chief information officer of ECS. "As a top-tier MSSP, ECS remains committed to investing in dynamic, forward-thinking AI solutions that will help customers reduce costs, decrease complexity, and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their cybersecurity programs."
