Veteran-owned elite cybersecurity team expands A-LIGN’s ability to help organizations move beyond compliance and stay ahead of real-world attackers

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A-LIGN, the leading cybersecurity compliance company, today announced its acquisition of Pathfynder, a specialized offensive and defensive cybersecurity firm. The acquisition expands A-LIGN’s service offerings for enterprises looking to strengthen their security posture and reduce the risk of cyberattacks.

The acquisition comes as enterprises face an increasingly costly, fast-moving, and AI-accelerated threat landscape. As attackers grow more sophisticated and persistent, compliance alone is no longer enough. Countering AI-enabled attacks takes both skilled people and advanced technology working together, and organizations need to know if their defenses can hold up against real adversaries.

Pathfynder, a veteran-owned company, employs a team of elite specialists with decades of cybersecurity, military, and intelligence community experience. They provide technical offensive and defensive cybersecurity services including network, cloud, and web application penetration testing, red team and adversary emulation, testing of complex and emerging capabilities, and forensics and incident response.

“Since our inception, A-LIGN has believed in the power of combined compliance and technical cybersecurity services under one roof,” said Scott Price, CEO of A-LIGN. “The acquisition of Pathfynder enables A-LIGN to offer customers advanced offensive security services delivered by a team that operates independently from our assurance and assessment practice while leveraging institutional knowledge of the customer to enhance the cybersecurity services.

Pathfynder will remain a highly experienced and specialized team under the A-LIGN parent brand, maintaining its brand as Pathfynder by A-LIGN. This structure preserves the independence between A-LIGN’s assurance and assessment teams and Pathfynder’s penetration testers to protect the integrity of both functions.

For A-LIGN’s more than 6,400 existing customers, it also means access to advanced, real-world security testing from a trusted partner, without the friction of managing another vendor relationship.

“We are excited to join the A-LIGN team and bring our trusted expertise and proven capabilities to their existing suite of services,” said DJ Fuller, founder of Pathfynder. “We share the same core values and mission: helping companies close security gaps and meet regulatory requirements, so they can reduce the risk of financial and reputational damage from a cyberattack.”

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts and statements identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions the Company has made. Although the Company believes that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and are subject to a variety of assumptions, uncertainties, risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation: our customers renewing their subscriptions with us and expanding their usage of software and related services; global political changes; the effects of the ongoing geopolitical instability resulting from the conflict in Iran, the unrest in Mexico, the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas and recent events in Venezuela on our business and future operating results; economic downturns and/or the effects of rising interest rates, inflation and volatility in the global economy and financial markets on our business and future operating results; our ability to remain profitable and grow in a constantly changing market; our potential failure to meet publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business and future operating results; reputational harm or other adverse consequences resulting from use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) in our product offerings and internal operations if they don’t produce the desired benefits; our limited operating history; our history of losses; our potential failure to repurchase shares of our common stock at favorable prices, if at all; failure of our platform to satisfy customer demands; the effects of increased competition; our investments in new products and our ability to introduce new features, services or enhancements, including AI and ML, for both traditional and emerging use cases; our ability to effectively expand our sales and marketing organization; our ability to continue to build and maintain credibility with the developer community; our ability to add new customers or increase sales to our existing customers; our ability to maintain, protect, enforce and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to continue to increase revenue from our Atlas platform; the effects of social, ethical, security and regulatory issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies, such as AI and ML, in our offerings or partnerships; the possibility that the market for AI-related data infrastructure may not develop as we expect or may favor alternative architectures or competitors; the growth and expansion of the market for database products and our ability to penetrate that market; our ability to maintain the security of our software and adequately address privacy concerns; our ability to manage our growth effectively and successfully recruit and retain additional highly-qualified personnel; our ability to integrate acquisitions and work with our strategic partners effectively; and the price volatility of our common stock. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, filed with the SEC on May 29, 2026. Additional information will be made available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, and other filings and reports that the Company may file from time to time with the SEC. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this release as a result of new information, future events, changes in expectations or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin exclude expenses associated with stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, exclude:

expenses associated with stock-based compensation including employer payroll taxes upon the vesting and exercising of stock-based awards and expenses related to stock appreciation rights previously issued to our employees in China;amortization of intangible assets for the acquired technology and acquired customer relationships associated with prior acquisitions;certain acquisition-related costs and other, including due diligence costs, professional fees in connection with an acquisition and certain integration-related expenses. These expenses are unpredictable, and dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired business or our Company. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs;legal costs and settlement fees incurred in connection with non-ordinary course litigation, particularly ongoing securities litigation, which are not considered indicative of core operating performance;restructuring costs associated with a formal restructuring plan that are primarily related to workforce reductions. The Company excludes these expenses because they are not reflective of ordinary course ongoing business and operating results; andin the case of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, amortization of the debt issuance costs associated with our convertible senior notes and gains or losses on our financial instruments;additionally, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, are adjusted for an assumed provision for income taxes based on an estimated long-term non-GAAP tax rate as well as the tax charges or benefits resulting from the integration of intellectual property from acquisitions. The non-GAAP tax rate was calculated utilizing a three-year financial projection that excludes the direct impact of the GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments and considers other factors such as operating structure and existing tax positions in various jurisdictions. The Company intends to periodically reevaluate the projected long-term tax rate, as necessary, for significant events and our ongoing analysis of relevant tax law changes.

MongoDB uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating MongoDB’s ongoing operational performance. MongoDB believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in MongoDB’s industry, many of which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Free cash flow represents net cash from/used in operating activities, less capital expenditures, principal payments of finance lease liabilities and capitalized software development costs, if any. MongoDB uses free cash flow to understand and evaluate its liquidity and to generate future operating plans. The exclusion of capital expenditures, principal payments of finance lease liabilities and amounts capitalized for software development facilitates comparisons of MongoDB’s liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that it does not consider to be indicative of its liquidity. MongoDB believes that free cash flow is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of its liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in its business in the same manner as MongoDB’s management and board of directors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In particular, other companies may report non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, free cash flow or similarly titled measures but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as presented below. This earnings press release and any future releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can also be found on the Investor Relations page of MongoDB’s website at https://investors.mongodb.com.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include unearned revenue, multi-year contracts with future installment payments and certain unfulfilled orders against accepted customer contracts at the end of any given period. The Company applies the practical expedient to omit disclosure with respect to the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the related contract has a total duration of 12 months or less.

 Transforming how customers benefit from agentic-driven workflows that are purpose-built for the AI era

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced it has acquired Console, an AI-native platform that enables agentic capabilities. Console is designed to help organizations apply AI-driven analysis and action across their enterprise operations, giving organizations the force multiplier they need to resolve alerts, issues, and requests at machine speed.

As AI reshapes the threat landscape, organizations need a security platform that can operate with speed, context, and operational discipline. Console will help advance this vision by deepening our agentic capabilities in Cortex®, supporting teams as they investigate signals, prioritize work, and take action across their environment. 

Nikesh Arora, Chairman and CEO, Palo Alto Networks

“Security operations can no longer be about managing dashboards and queuing tickets just to help humans work faster. By bringing Console into Palo Alto Networks, our customers can have a direct conversation with data and build agentic workflows in natural language that helps alert and remediate issues automatically. This is the shift to software-as-an-agent, giving our platform the arms and legs to deliver autonomous security outcomes across the entire enterprise.”

Andrei Serban, Co-Founder and CEO, Console

“We built Console around a simple idea: people should be able to express an operational goal, and intelligent software should handle the complexity required to achieve it. Our customers have already proven that agents can dramatically slash overhead and transform their business. Joining Palo Alto Networks gives our team the security expertise, platform foundation, and global scale to bring that vision to the world’s largest enterprises. Together, we can make agentic operations faster to adopt, safer to govern, and far more consequential.”
