VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 24, 2025 – Integrated Cyber Solutions, Inc. (CSE: ICS) (FSE: 4YG) (OTCQB: IGCRF), a leader in human-centered cybersecurity services, today announced the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KIBA Consulting, a UAE-based firm with deep expertise across the Middle East and Africa (MEA). This partnership enables Integrated Cyber to expand the reach of its behavioral cybersecurity programs and Human Firewall platform across some of the world's most vulnerable and rapidly evolving digital markets.

With rising cybercrime and increasing regulatory pressure across the MEA region, people-first cybersecurity solutions are urgently needed. In the UAE alone, recent reports show phishing and email-based fraud account for over 12% of all cyber incidents. At the same time, digital infrastructure exposure continues to grow as businesses accelerate cloud adoption and digital transformation. Across the broader MEA market, the cybersecurity industry is projected to surpass $15 billion by 2028, driven by regional investments in critical infrastructure and smart city initiatives.

"Our partnership with KIBA Consulting is a strategic move to extend our impact across the UAE and the greater MEA region," said Alan Guibord, CEO of Integrated Cyber Solutions. "We're seeing a clear demand for cybersecurity models that go beyond systems and start with people. With KIBA's local knowledge and network, we can rapidly deploy tailored training programs that help organizations mitigate the human risks most often exploited by attackers."

"The cybersecurity landscape in the UAE and wider GCC is at an inflection point. As nations accelerate their digital ambitions—through smart city initiatives, AI integration, and financial digitization—the need for robust, human-centric cyber defenses has never been more urgent," commented Dr. Sanjay Nadkarni, Board Advisor to KIBA Consultants. "With the regional market expected to exceed $15 billion by 2028, this presents a transformative opportunity to build cyber resilience not just through technology, but by empowering people. The partnership between Integrated Cyber and KIBA is a timely step toward bridging this critical gap in the region."

The MoU enables KIBA to serve as Integrated Cyber's in-country delivery partner across the region, supporting localized rollouts of training modules, phishing simulations, behavioral analytics, and adaptive learning paths—all delivered through Integrated Cyber's AI-enhanced Human Firewall platform.

As with its recent expansions in India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East, this partnership further reinforces Integrated Cyber's global growth strategy: one that aligns with digital acceleration trends while addressing the most commonly exploited weakness in cyber defense—human error.
