CISO Global Partners with TeleDental to Launch CyberSimple® Powered by CHECKLIGHT® to Protect Dental Clinics From Cyber Threats
Scottsdale, AZ, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CISO Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CISO), a leading provider of AI-powered cybersecurity software and compliance services, today announced a strategic partnership with TeleDental.com and DentalChat.com to offer Cyber Assurance Group’s CyberSimple® powered by CHECKLIGHT®, delivering cybersecurity and financial protection purpose-built for dental practices.
Through this collaboration, CyberSimple® powered by CHECKLIGHT® will be made available via TeleDental.com and DentalChat.com, initially extending protection to more than 358 dental clinics nationwide, with significant expansion potential across the broader U.S. dental market. This effort underlines the effort between cybersecurity, insurance, and healthcare industries to address the growing cyber threat to a vulnerable and underserved market.
There are approximately 190,000 dental practices in the United States, representing a substantial cybersecurity market. With an estimated average of five protected endpoints per practice, CISO Global estimates a total addressable market (TAM) of approximately $350 million annually for cybersecurity solutions tailored to dental clinics. The partnership with TeleDental and DentalChat provides CISO Global with a scalable, industry-specific distribution channel to reach this fragmented market efficiently.
CyberSimple® powered by CHECKLIGHT® provides up to $1.5 million in financial protection while helping dental offices defend against cyberattacks, ransomware, and data breaches. The platform is designed to safeguard sensitive patient protected health information (PHI), support HIPAA and regulatory compliance, and reduce both operational and financial risk for dental practices.
Dental practices have increasingly become targets for cybercriminals due to limited in-house IT resources and the high value of patient data. As dental care continues its shift toward digital engagement and virtual access, the attack surface for practices continues to expand. The partnership between CISO Global, Cyber Assurance Group, and TeleDental addresses these risks with a simplified, turnkey cybersecurity solution specifically tailored to the realities of modern dentistry.
“We’ve spent over a decade building platforms that connect patients with dental care anytime, anywhere. Today, security is just as critical as access,” said Dr. Ed Said, CEO of Teledental.com and DentalChat.com. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to protecting dental practices and their patient data as we lead the next generation of connected, secure dental care.”
CHECKLIGHT® integrates continuous monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and financial risk mitigation into a single platform, allowing dental professionals to focus on patient care rather than cybersecurity management.
“Dental clinics handle highly sensitive data but often lack the resources to defend against modern cyber threats,” said Rob Hegedus, CHECKLIGHT® Program Manager at CISO Global. “This collaboration delivers meaningful cyber protection and financial coverage in a solution that is simple to deploy, easy to manage, and scalable across thousands of dental practices.”
CyberSimple® powered by CHECKLIGHT® with TeleDental is now available through TeleDental.com and DentalChat.com.
