Cybersecurity partnership with Cyberleaf recognized for CyberAssurance CORE™, SWK’s NIST-aligned managed security program for SMBs
EAST HANOVER, N.J. — August 14, 2026 — SWK Technologies, Inc., a trusted, innovative partner for small and mid-sized businesses seeking ERP, managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud hosting solutions, today announced it has been named a winner of the Partner in Excellence Award from ChannelPro, recognized at ChannelPro’s Parsippany, New Jersey event, held August 11–12, 2026. SWK was nominated for the award by Cyberleaf, its security operations partner, for the joint work behind SWK’s CyberAssurance CORE™ cybersecurity program.
ChannelPro’s Partner in Excellence Award spotlights IT channel vendors, distributors, and other businesses that nominate their most innovative managed service provider partners, highlighting collaborative projects with measurable results. Nominations are evaluated by the ChannelPro Advisory Group on three criteria: impact, innovation, and collaboration. One winner is recognized at each of ChannelPro’s regional conferences throughout 2026.
SWK’s nomination centered on CyberAssurance CORE™, a full-service cybersecurity program SWK built for SMBs and small enterprises that had historically relied on fragmented security tools, limited visibility, and stretched internal IT teams. Rather than layering on more point solutions, SWK designed CyberAssurance CORE™ around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 to provide structure, consistency, and accountability across risk assessment, protection, detection, response, and ongoing operations.
The program begins with risk assessment activities, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and remediation planning, to establish a clear baseline before any longer-term engagement begins. From there, customers are supported with layered controls such as endpoint protection, identity security, encryption, DNS filtering, and security awareness training. Those controls are continuously monitored through integrated SOC, SIEM, and SOAR capabilities to help ensure threats are identified, correlated, and addressed quickly.
A key part of the program is SWK’s strategic partnership with Cyberleaf, which provides continuous security operations, monitoring, and response behind the scenes. That partnership lets SWK deliver enterprise-grade security outcomes for its customers while staying focused on governance, customer alignment, and strategic guidance rather than day-to-day alert management.
Customers using CyberAssurance CORE™ have seen improved detection and response times, reduced exposure to phishing and ransomware attacks, and stronger alignment with regulatory frameworks such as NIST, HIPAA, and CMMC. Internally, the program has also given SWK a more repeatable, scalable security model that reduces tool sprawl and improves consistency across customer environments.
“At its core, this award recognizes the power of partnership. SWK and Cyberleaf share a common vision: helping organizations manage cyber risk through a combination of sound governance, operational excellence, and measurable security outcomes. Cyberleaf’s world-class security operations capabilities complement SWK’s risk management and compliance expertise, enabling us to deliver CyberAssurance CORE™, a NIST-aligned cybersecurity program that brings enterprise-grade protection to the SMB market. Together, we’ve created a model that helps customers identify risk sooner, respond faster, strengthen compliance, and build lasting operational resilience. We’re honored by this recognition, but even more proud of the results our customers are achieving every day” said Bill Michael, Chief Information Officer at SWK Technologies.
“On behalf of ChannelPro’s editorial team and Advisory Group, congratulations to SWK Technologies on being named our Partner in Excellence for the NY/NJ region,” said Jonathan Browning, executive director of content and engagement at ChannelPro Network. “Bill’s team goes above and beyond to educate small businesses and innovate to solve their technology challenges. They also build bridges within the community that strengthen the IT channel. This recognition is well deserved.”
SWK views its cybersecurity work as an extension of its broader commitment to the communities it serves. Through SWK Gives and its support of charitable organizations nationwide, the company reinforces the same culture of accountability and long-term thinking that shapes how its security programs are designed and maintained.
