(TSXV: CYBE) (OTCQB: CYBHF) ("CyberCatch'' or the "Company"), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform solution for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, is pleased to announce it has signed a definitive share exchange agreement to acquire Atriarch Inc.

Enterprises, whether corporate or government, continue to be breached with a hefty cost, with data being exfiltrated by bad actors even though data in motion and data at rest is encrypted using current encryption technology. For example, the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. exceeds USD $10 million per IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data breach report. Also, per the IBM report, the average total time to identify and contain a data breach globally is 241 days.

"This is not sustainable and with AI and quantum driven cyberattacks in the horizon, what is needed is innovative encryption for both data in motion and data at rest. What is needed is multi-authority attributes-based encryption with revocation support, so that it is one-to-many but with one-to-one encryption and instant revocation capability, and we have identified several immediate use cases in key sectors for this value proposition, and anticipate announcing several key partnerships shortly for the partners to license and incorporate into their technology products," stated Sai Huda, CEO, CyberCatch.

There are a number of immediate use cases in critical business sector for this multi-authority attributes-based encryption with revocation support. For example, in the public sector, emergency communications can now be encrypted with this innovative encryption and transmitted once but yet access can be granular for each recipient as to content and access can be revoked instantly for some if necessary, driving significant cost savings, boosting cybersecurity and mitigating risk from AI and quantum driven cyberattacks.
