Cyberleaf is an enterprise‑grade managed cybersecurity company built by veteran security operators to serve growing organizations that lack the resources to build and staff their own security operations center (SOC). Headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, the company was founded in 2010 and today delivers a unified Cybersecurity‑as‑a‑Service (CSaaS) platform that combines 24/7 SOC monitoring, Managed Detection & Response (MDR/XDR), compliance readiness (SOC 2, CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, PCI DSS), and professional services such as penetration testing and vulnerability scanning. Cyberleaf’s approach is designed to fill the gap between a company’s existing IT team and the dedicated security analysts needed to detect, investigate, and contain threats in real time. Its SOC is staffed entirely by U.S.-based analysts, and the service integrates with clients’ existing security tools rather than forcing a rip‑and‑replace. The company sells primarily through MSPs and directly to businesses with 50–500 employees, as well as to government entities. Cyberleaf positions itself as a cost‑effective alternative to hiring a full‑time security team, promising predictable monthly pricing with no hidden fees. Its leadership brings decades of experience from enterprise and government cybersecurity, and the company has recently strengthened its go‑to‑market leadership with the appointment of a new Chief Revenue Officer.
Detailed Review
History & Background
Cyberleaf’s roots trace back to Waterleaf International, a cybersecurity firm founded in 2010 by Adam Sewall. Waterleaf International operated as a security consultancy and managed services provider, eventually evolving into the Cyberleaf brand. The company is privately held and remains headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida. Its LinkedIn profile lists 51–200 employees.
Service & Product Portfolio
Cyberleaf’s core offering is a Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) that provides 24/7/365 monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. Specific services include Managed Detection & Response (MDR) / Extended Detection & Response (XDR), which correlates telemetry across endpoints, cloud, network, email, and identity; analysts investigate and contain threats. A Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) platform collects and analyzes data against 1,000+ threat intelligence feeds. Protective DNS (PDNS) blocks malicious domains at the DNS layer to prevent phishing, C2 callbacks, and data exfiltration. Continuous vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are included, along with breached credential alerting, proactive threat hunting, compliance support for SOC 2, CMMC, NIST SP 800‑171, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, as well as Zero Trust architecture design and implementation. Professional services include social engineering testing, risk assessments, and compliance consulting.
Target Market & Distribution
Cyberleaf focuses on growing businesses with 50–500 employees that have an IT director or small IT team but lack dedicated security analysts. The company works alongside existing IT staff, not as a replacement. It also serves MSPs, enterprises, and government entities. Distribution is direct and through MSP partners.
Certifications & Trust Signals
The company markets itself as “Trusted. Certified. Battle‑Tested.” Its SOC is U.S.-based, and it holds relevant compliance certifications (SOC 2, CMMC, etc.) – though specific certification dates are not provided in the search results.
Recent Developments
In December 2025, Cyberleaf appointed Jaime Reynolds as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) to lead sales, marketing, and partner ecosystem growth. This appointment signals an acceleration of go‑to‑market efforts.
Competitive Positioning
Cyberleaf differentiates from traditional MSSPs by offering full MDR (investigation and containment) rather than just alert forwarding. It also emphasizes predictable pricing (no per‑alert or data‑ingestion fees) and integration with existing tools. The company positions itself as a lower‑cost alternative to building an in‑house SOC or hiring a dedicated security hire.
