CISO Global Secures Alliance with Financial Independence Group
$2 Billion Total Addressable Market for CyberSimpleTM powered by CHECKLIGHT®
Scottsdale, AZ, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CISO Global (NASDAQ: CISO), a leader in AI-powered cybersecurity software and compliance services, today announced an alliance with Financial Independence Group (FIG) through the company’s strategic partnership with Cyber Assurance Group Incorporated (CAGI) and its CyberSimpleTM solution, a groundbreaking advancement in the distribution of CISO Global’s flagship cybersecurity product, CHECKLIGHT®. The alliance opens an estimated $2 billion market opportunity in the PEO and Financial Management sector.
This initiative will integrate the offering of CyberSimpleTM powered by CHECKLIGHT®, with its expanded $1.5M warranty, directly into FIG’s proprietary advisor portal, which currently supports services such as stock trading, wealth management tracking, business acceleration tools, and insurance solutions for the thousands of wealth advisors using FIG’s platform.
“Cyber protection for financial services firms and their retail clients is the most important planning needed today,” said Nicholas Ross, Chief Strategy Officer, FIG. “We are at war hourly with malicious actors seeking to steal even the most basic data from our bank, brokerage, and insurance accounts. Every American needs a veil of protection that we are pleased to finally bring to the retail community.”
Assisted by CAGI, FIG will integrate the offering of CyberSimple into its proprietary client-facing platform over the coming weeks. CISO Global will provide additional support with the delivery of user-friendly instructional video tutorials designed to provide FIG’s advisors and their clients with straightforward guidance on installing CHECKLIGHT® and managing cybersecurity alerts.
“CyberSimple is by far the most cost-effective and user-friendly route to cyber financial protection available on the market today,” said David R. Bechtel, CEO of CAGI. “We’re delighted to be sharing this offering with Financial Independence Group and their many clients who stand to gain from government-grade cybersecurity and the industry’s leading performance warranty, providing up to $1.5M in financial protection.”
This announcement builds upon CISO Global’s previously publicized strategic partnership with Cyber Assurance Group, reflecting ongoing collaboration aimed at elevating cybersecurity standards across industries.
