**INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C)**

**OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND**

**REGULATION 14C PROMULGATED THEREUNDER**

**INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT**

**General**

We are a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices located at 6900 E. Camelback Road, Suite 240 Scottsdale, Arizona 85251. Our telephone number is (480) 389-3444. On December 20, 2022, holders of 85,085,000 shares of our common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, which constitutes a majority of our outstanding common stock as of such date, and our Board of Directors took action by written consent approving and adopting an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the Certificate of Amendment, to change the name of our company from "Cerberus Cyber Sentinel Corporation" to "CISO Global, Inc."

This Information Statement is being distributed by our Board of Directors to the holders of record of our common stock as of December 20, 2022, or the Record Date, to notify such stockholders that the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock have taken action by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders, approving the Certificate of Amendment. The required vote was obtained on December 20, 2022 in accordance with the relevant sections of Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and our by-laws. This Information Statement is being delivered only to inform you of the corporate action described herein in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Section 228 of the DGCL provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders of a corporation may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by the stockholders holding at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Copies of this Information Statement are expected to be mailed on or about January , 2023 to the holders of record of our common stock as of the Record Date. The corporate action described herein will be effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware approximately 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

**Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Information Statement Materials in Connection with this Notice of Written Consent.** 

The Information Statement is available at *www.cerberussentinel.com.*

**Stockholders Entitled to Notice** 

Each holder of record of our common stock, as of the Record Date, will be entitled to notice of each matter voted upon.

**Proxies** 

No proxies are being solicited. **WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.**

**Dissenting Stockholders**

None of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our by-laws provide holders of our common stock with dissenters' or appraisal rights in connection with the action described in this Information Statement.

**Information Statement Costs**

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement, including the preparation, assembly, and mailing of this Information Statement, will be borne by us.

**THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN.**

**PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS HAVE VOTED TO APPROVE THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE STOCKHOLDERS EXECUTING THE WRITTEN CONSENT IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH ACTION UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS, SO NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THIS ACTION. THIS IS NEITHER A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE NOR A PROXY STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED TO INFORM YOU OF THE APPROVAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT, AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT AS WELL AS THE BACKGROUND OF THIS CORPORATE ACTION.** 

**THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERIT OF THIS ACTION NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT, AND ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.**

**Vote Required to Approve the Certificate of Amendment**

As of the Record Date, there were 151,518,215 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. For the approval of the Certificate of Amendment, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote was required.

**Consenting Majority Stockholders** 

On December 20, 2022, our stockholders holding in aggregate of 85,085,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 56.15% of our issued and outstanding common stock, delivered a written consent to us approving and adopting the corporate action described in this Information Statement. For a detailed breakdown of the beneficial ownership of our common stock, please see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" below.

Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Certificate of Amendment, being subject to approval of our stockholders, cannot become effective until at least 20 calendar days after the initial mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders.

**CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION**

**Reasons for Name Change**

Our board of directors believes the change of our name from "Cerberus Cyber Sentinel Corporation" to "CISO Global, Inc." will be in our best interests as the new name better reflects our long-term strategy and identity.

**Approval of Certificate of Amendment**

Our board of directors, on December 20, 2022, and the holders of 85,085,000 shares of our common stock, on December 20, 2022, executed and delivered to the Company the written consents approving the Certificate of Amendment. Accordingly, in compliance with the laws of the DGCL and our by-laws a majority of the outstanding voting shares has approved the Certificate of Amendment, and no other vote or proxy is required of the stockholders.

**Effect on Stockholders**

The change of name will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of stock certificates outstanding at the time of the name change, our capital structure, or the trading of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Following implementation of the Certificate of Amendment, stockholders may continue to hold their existing certificates or receive new certificates reflecting the name change by delivering their existing certificates to the Company's transfer agent. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not deliver any stock certificates to the transfer agent until after the effectiveness of the name change.

**No Appraisal Rights**

Our stockholders do not have any "appraisal" or "dissenters" rights in connection with the approval or implementation of the Certificate of Amendment.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of December 20, 2022 for (a) the named executive officers, (b) each of our directors, (c) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group and (d) each stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. We deem shares of common stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days of December 20, 2022 pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table. Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them based on information provided to us by these stockholders. Percentage of ownership is based on 151,518,215 shares of common stock outstanding on December 20, 2022.

**HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS**

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for information statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Information Statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

If you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of this Information Statement and would like to participate in our householding program, please contact our Corporate Secretary by calling (480) 389-3444, or by mailing a request to Attn: Corporate Secretary, 6900 E. Camelback Road, Suite 240, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251. Alternatively, if you participate in householding and wish to revoke your consent and receive separate copies of this Information Statement, please contact our Corporate Secretary as described above.

A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding. If you hold your shares in street name, please contact your bank, broker, or other holder of record to request information about householding.
