Integrated Quantum Technologies Debuts MASQ, an AI Agent Governance and Security Architecture, Initiates Patent Process, and Announces Strategic Market Awareness Initiatives

New Intellectual Property Initiative Focused on Secure AI Agent Deployment, Action Governance and Context Protection.

Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (CSE: ICS,OTC:IGCRF) (OTCQB: IGCRF) (FSE: Y4G), doing business as Integrated Quantum Technologies ("Integrated Quantum", "IQT", or the "Company"), today announced the initiation of the patent process for MASQ™ (Machine Action Security Quotient), a next-generation governance and security framework designed for AI agents and autonomous AI systems.

MASQ™ is being developed to help organizations define, manage and enforce what information AI agents are permitted to access, what actions they are authorized to perform, and how sensitive internal agent context, memory and reasoning environments are protected during interactions with APIs, MCP servers, enterprise tools, skills and external systems.

Designed to address rising security, governance and operational risks resulting from the rapid deployment of AI agents across enterprise environments, MASQ™ is designed to provide governance and control over:

• Agent permissions and authorized actions
• Access to enterprise systems and data environments
• Interactions with APIs, external tools and MCP servers
• Protection of sensitive information contained within agent context windows, internal attention states and reasoning environments.

"AI agents are becoming increasingly autonomous and interconnected, and organizations will require governance systems capable of controlling not only what agents can access and execute, but also how sensitive contextual reasoning data is protected during machine-to-machine interaction," said Jeremy J. Samuelson, EVP, Artificial Intelligence & Innovation at Integrated Quantum. "This patent initiative reflects our continued focus on building foundational infrastructure for secure enterprise AI deployment."

The Company has engaged intellectual property counsel to support the development and protection of MASQ™, and believes the rapid emergence of agentic AI systems, autonomous orchestration frameworks, AI copilots and machine-to-machine reasoning environments is creating a new category of enterprise cybersecurity and governance challenges not adequately addressed by traditional cybersecurity architectures.

MASQ™ is intended to become a core component of Integrated Quantum's broader AIQu platform, focused on security-first, privacy-preserving and quantum-resilient AI infrastructure.

Integrated Quantum believes the continued expansion of enterprise AI adoption, autonomous AI workflows and agentic computing environments may significantly increase demand for secure governance and orchestration frameworks designed specifically for machine reasoning systems and AI-driven operational environments.

Expanding Market Visibility and Investor Engagement

The Company also announces the appointment of Euroswiss Capital Partners Inc. ("Euroswiss") as a strategic marketing and financial advisory partner to support increased brand recognition and capital markets visibility across central Europe. Pursuant to a 12-month non-exclusive consulting agreement, Euroswiss will assist the Company with investor communications, European business development initiatives and corporate finance opportunities. The Company will pay Euroswiss a fixed consulting fee of $100,000. Euroswiss is a Switzerland-based capital markets advisory firm focused on investor outreach, media distribution and institutional networking initiatives for public companies. An affiliate of Euroswiss currently holds 200,000 common shares of the Company. The agreement was negotiated at arm's length. Contact information for Euroswiss: Jan-Eric Soetbeer, Email: js@euroswiss.group, Address: Sempacher Str. 15, 6003 Lucerne, Switzerland.

The Company also announces that it has entered into an investor awareness agreement with Market IQ Media Group Limited ("MIQL") dated May 26, 2026 (the "Agreement"). MIQL is domiciled in Ireland. Under the Agreement, MIQL has been engaged to provide full North American financial news distribution services for up to 20 Company news releases, including market commentary, industry analysis and event-based distribution coverage.
