Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2026) - Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (CSE: ICS) (OTCQB: IGCRF) (FSE: Y4G), doing business as Integrated Quantum Technologies ("Integrated Quantum" or the "Company"), today announced the completion of an independent AI security risk assessment (the " Risk Assessment ") of its VEILTM data security technology, conducted by Forward Security Inc. (" FWDSEC "). The Company engaged FWDSEC to prepare the Risk Assessment on Feb 2^nd, 2026. In connection with the Company's engagement of FWDSEC, FWDSEC was paid a fee of $31,745.00 CDN. FWDSEC does not hold any securities in the Company.

The Company's product, VEILTM, transforms data containing any sensitive information (e.g., PII, PCI, PHI, etc.) into non-invertible representations that no longer contain sensitive information prior to processing by machine learning models. This transformation aims to reduce the presence of protected, proprietary, regulated, or any other sort of sensitive information within downstream systems and limits potential exposure in the event of unauthorized access. The approach differs from conventional methods that focus on securing data in its original form, by instead modifying the data before use.

The independent Risk Assessment was conducted by FWDSEC to systematically evaluate potential security and privacy risks associated with VEILTM deployments, in which the VEILTM architecture and information layer primitive are used to transform sensitive data into latent vector representations for use in downstream machine learning processes.

The scope of the Risk Assessment focused on the VEILTM DB proxy enforcement of the trust boundary, including Postgres wire protocol handling, query inspection, and response transformation. The Risk Assessment also examined AI and privacy-related threat scenarios involving potential exposure of latent representations, downstream outputs, and associated machine learning operations (MLOps) artifacts. In addition, selected application security controls aligned with industry-standard frameworks were reviewed by FWDSEC where relevant to the deployment architecture.

The Risk Assessment followed a structured risk evaluation process, including threat modelling, protocol-level security testing, and analysis of AI-specific privacy risks. Testing was conducted in a production-like environment with access to system architecture, source code, and representative datasets and model artifacts. Findings were reviewed and validated with the Company's engineering team as part of the engagement.

Results of the Risk Assessment indicate that no high-risk or medium-risk security threats were identified within the tested VEILTM deployment. The Risk Assessment identified standard minor findings consistent with systems at a similar stage of development and included recommendations for ongoing risk management and control enhancements.

"The completion of this independent assessment provides validation of the security characteristics of our VEILTM technology," said Alan Guibord, CEO and President of Integrated Quantum Technologies. "Third-party testing is an important component of enterprise adoption, and these results support our continued product development and broader commercial readiness."

"This engagement evaluated the security and privacy characteristics of VEILTM," said Farshad Abasi, Founder and CEO of Forward Security Inc. "The architecture reflects a novel approach to transforming sensitive data into representations required for machine learning, while removing directly identifiable information."

The Risk Assessment also included a business impact analysis of key data assets within scope, evaluating potential exposure scenarios and their implications for enterprise use.

The Company commissioned this Risk Assessment as part of its broader effort to validate the security characteristics of its technology in real-world deployment conditions and to support internal risk management, product development, and enterprise readiness. Independent third-party security assessments are commonly required by enterprise customers as part of vendor evaluation and procurement processes.
