Scottsdale, Ariz., March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CISO Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CISO), an industry leader in AI-powered cybersecurity software, managed cybersecurity, and compliance, announced it has successfully paid off its highest-interest loans as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen its balance sheet and improve operational efficiency.
To further financial stability, CISO Global has also secured extensions on convertible notes totaling $7 million. These notes are held by long-standing partners with close relationships with the company, reflecting continued confidence in the long-term vision and stability of the business.
“Clearing the company’s highest-interest debt removes a significant obstacle to our growth,” said Deb Smith, Chief Financial Officer of CISO Global. “With this burden lifted, we’ve improved our cash flow, giving us the flexibility to accelerate our shift into a more profitable, software-first business model.”
These financial moves come as CISO Global continues to right-size the organization, setting the stage for the Company’s ongoing transition into a high-margin, software-led and services-supported model. With a revitalized balance sheet and a sharpened strategic focus, CISO Global continues to demonstrate its commitment to redefine the cybersecurity landscape while focusing on sustained revenue growth.
