Recognition reflects strong security outcomes for shared customers

CDW has been named the Palo Alto Networks 2026 North America Small-Medium Business Partner of the Year. The annual Palo Alto Networks Partner Awards recognize partners that demonstrate exceptional performance, deep expertise and a commitment to securing customers.

CDW was recognized for its work helping small and medium-sized businesses strengthen their security posture over the past fiscal year, backed by a full-stack security practice and services such as its managed XSIAM offering. Award recipients were evaluated through a data-driven process measuring bookings growth, net-new customer acquisition, partner-initiated deal volume and success in expanding customer footprints.

"Small and medium-sized businesses face the same threats as the largest enterprises, often without the same resources," said Stephanie Hagopian, senior vice president of security solutions for CDW. "This recognition reflects the work our teams do every day alongside Palo Alto Networks to make enterprise-grade security practical, affordable and effective for these organizations."

"As organizations navigate unprecedented technological transformation, partners are more critical than ever before in helping our customers modernize by adopting AI-powered platform security," said Anar Desai, North America Channel Sales at Palo Alto Networks. "We are proud to honor CDW as our 2026 North America Small-Medium Business Partner of the Year for their exceptional commitment to solving complex security challenges and driving real outcomes for our joint customers."
