This strategic transaction marks a major acceleration of Cycurion's growth strategy.
Panoptic's industry-leading continuous threat and vulnerability visibility, intelligent prioritization, and real-time security insights will significantly expand Cycurion's product portfolio and enhance its ability to deliver higher-margin, recurring revenue solutions to enterprise and government clients.
L. Kevin Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of Cycurion, stated: "This acquisition is a game-changer for Cycurion. It advances our strategy of moving into higher-margin, recurring revenue businesses while increasing the breadth and depth of products that we deliver to our clients. Panoptic is a powerful addition that strengthens our competitive position and creates exciting new cross-selling opportunities across our customer base."
Ryan Layton, former chief executive officer of Secuvant and now serving as an advisor to Cycurion in connection with the integration of the Secuvant business, added: "Panoptic was built to transform how organizations manage cyber risk. By joining forces with Cycurion, we now have the ideal platform to rapidly scale this breakthrough technology and deliver next-generation protection at enterprise scale. The best is yet to come."
The Merger
The merger transaction was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on May 21, 2026 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Cycurion, Cycurion Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cycurion ("Merger Sub"), and Secuvant.

The Merger was consummated on June 2, 2026.
The total consideration for the transaction is approximately $2.875 million, consisting of $875,000 in cash and 888,888 shares of preferred stock (representing approximately $2.0 million in value). In addition, Secuvant equityholders are eligible to receive contingent earn-out payments over a three-year period from 2026 through 2028. The earn-out includes guaranteed annual payments of $100,000 and additional performance-based payments tied to the gross profit generated from certain revenue streams. Any performance-based earn-out amounts will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Cycurion common stock.
In connection with the closing, Cycurion entered into certain ancillary agreements with Secuvant equityholders, including registration rights, lock-up, leak-out and escrow arrangements.

$CYCU News: Cycurion Acquires Secuvant, Supercharging AI-Driven Cybersecurity with Automated, Scalable Threat Defense – Perfectly Complements HavenX Platform
Fri, May 22, 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT
MCLEAN, Va., May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a leading provider of AI-driven cybersecurity, IT security solutions, and managed services, today announced the acquisition of Secuvant, LLC (“Secuvant”), a premier provider of enterprise-grade cybersecurity and risk management services. This strategic move dramatically strengthens Cycurion’s MDR, threat and vulnerability management, and compliance capabilities — delivering immediate firepower for mid-market and enterprise clients in construction, agriculture, financial services, utilities, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure.
The transaction is expected to contribute approximately $3 million in annualized revenue and approximately $1.5 million in EBITDA for fiscal year 2026.
Strategic Synergies
Secuvant’s expertise in cyber risk management, SOC-as-a-Service, incident response, and its proprietary Cyber7™ methodology, together with Panoptic’s advanced risk logic and threat vulnerability prioritization platform, integrates seamlessly with Cycurion’s AI-powered ARx platform and cybersecurity solutions. Together they deliver compelling advantages, including:
True end-to-end protection — from proactive risk assessment to automated detection, rapid response, and full recovery.
Powerful cross-selling momentum across Cycurion’s extensive government, corporate, and high-profile client base, accelerating revenue growth.
Major operational efficiencies, faster time-to-value, and richer threat intelligence through unified platforms.
Reinforced leadership in regulated industries and critical infrastructure.
Seamless Integration with HavenX – Unlocking Scalable Automation
This acquisition aligns perfectly with Cycurion’s recent HavenX integration (via Halo Privacy). While HavenX and Secuvant share strong capabilities in threat detection, attribution, monitoring, and response, Secuvant adds a decisive edge: highly automated, low-manual workflows through its Panoptic platform and cyberRPM tools that provide 24/7 protection with minimal human intervention.
The combined platform creates a true next-generation cybersecurity powerhouse. AI-driven monitoring and intelligent vulnerability prioritization now operate at machine speed — slashing operational overhead, accelerating threat mitigation, reducing costs, and unlocking major new opportunities in high-margin, technology-enabled services. Clients may gain proactive, always-on defense, visibility, and prioritization that scales effortlessly in today’s explosive threat environment.
“This acquisition marks a major milestone in our mission to fix what’s broken in cybersecurity,” said Kevin Kelly, Chairman and CEO of Cycurion. “Secuvant’s proven tools and expertise, combined with HavenX, let us deliver truly automated, scalable solutions that drive superior client outcomes and immediate financial impact.”
Merger Overview
The total consideration for the transaction is approximately $2.875 million, consisting of $875,000 in cash and 888,888 shares of preferred stock (representing approximately $2.0 million in value). In addition, Secuvant equityholders are eligible to receive contingent earn-out payments over a three-year period from 2026 through 2028. The earn-out includes guaranteed annual payments of $100,000 and additional performance-based payments tied to the gross profit generated from certain revenue streams. Any performance-based earn-out amounts will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Cycurion common stock.
The transaction is expected to close within 7 to 10 days, subject to customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

$CYCU NEWS: Cycurion Acquires Halo Privacy and Integrates HavenX, Creating a Powerful New AI-Driven Platform for Government-Grade Privacy, Secure Communications, and Active Defense
May 20, 2026 | Globe Newswire
MCLEAN, Va., May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYCU) ("Cycurion" or the "Company"), a leader in AI-driven cybersecurity and national security solutions with trusted relationships across the U.S. Government, numerous leading corporations, and high-profile individuals across all industries, today announced the strategic acquisition of Halo Privacy and the full integration of HavenX, which is expected to close at the end of June 2026, significantly expanding its portfolio of elite, mission-critical security capabilities. This combination unites two highly respected teams and their complementary technologies to deliver an end-to-end integrated solution for high-stakes government and private-sector clients operating in hostile digital environments.
Halo Privacy, a trusted leader in secure communications since 2015, generated $7 million in total revenue in 2025, including $5.5 million in high-quality annual recurring revenue (ARR) and strong gross margins. The company's predictable, high-margin recurring revenue model is anchored by long-term contracts with U.S. government agencies, which represent approximately 95% of its business, along with preferred vendor status and an exceptional track record of renewals. Momentum is accelerating following the award of a multi-year, multimillion-dollar government contract entered into in March 2026.
HavenX brings world-class digital investigations, OSINT, attribution, cyber-harassment tracking, and threat actor identification expertise that complements Halo Privacy's advanced privacy and secure communications infrastructure. Together, they create a seamless, AI-augmented platform that protects users from link analysis and data compromise while enabling proactive intelligence and decisive active defense capabilities.
"We are thrilled to welcome the Halo Privacy and HavenX teams to the Cycurion family," said Kevin Kelly, CEO of Cycurion. "Their operational tradecraft, battle-tested expertise, and relentless focus on defeating sophisticated adversaries align perfectly with our mission. This is more than an acquisition — it's the creation of something far more powerful: a unified platform that delivers privacy, secure communications, and active defense at the highest levels. We also see tremendous opportunity on the corporate side to expand this business, as secure communications are paramount in today's business world when conducting sensitive operations. With AI-powered applications like Halo Link, we are bringing the same government-grade protection to investment banks, healthcare organizations, R&D-intensive enterprises, law firms, and C-suite executives who demand the highest levels of privacy and security."
Halo Privacy's solutions — built from an attacker's perspective by former U.S. government field operators and communications specialists — combine commercial off-the-shelf components, military-grade cryptography, proprietary technology, and advanced operational methods to deliver total data control, managed attribution, link-breaking capabilities, and resilient private networks. These state-of-the-art capabilities have earned the enduring trust of federal law enforcement, military, and special operations communities.
With this integration, Cycurion is now accelerating its expansion into the private sector, bringing the same government-proven privacy and security technologies — enhanced by AI-powered applications including the Halo Link secure messaging app — to high-net-worth individuals, investment banks, healthcare organizations, R&D-intensive enterprises, law firms, C-suite executives, and other organizations that require the highest levels of protection.
About Halo Privacy
Halo Privacy, with more than 10 years of expertise, develops cutting-edge, privacy-first secure communication tools engineered for the highest security standards, including the revolutionary Halo Link app.

"The first quarter of 2026 marks a clear inflection point in our transformation," said Kevin Kelly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cycurion.

Combined with our existing contracted backlog, which we expect to deliver approximately $15 million to $17 million in annual revenue, the addition of Halo Privacy and HavenX will increase our contracted backlog we estimate to convert to revenue in a one year period to approximately $21 million to $22 million. We are executing with discipline - exiting lower margin legacy work, reducing costs and reinvesting in our AI-driven platforms. I am confident in our path to profitability and long-term shareholder value."
Highlights of First Quarter 2026 as Compared to Fourth Quarter 2025
Revenue of $3.3 million, which reflects the planned wind-down of certain legacy contracts ahead of the ramp of higher-margin replacement work.

(NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-driven cybersecurity and national security solutions with trusted relationships across the U.S. Government, numerous leading corporations, and high-profile individuals across all industries, today announced it has executed a binding agreement to acquire Halo Privacy, an industry-leading secure communications company, and fully integrate its elite digital investigations and attribution arm, HavenX.
The Company expects to close the transaction within 45 days, as the required audit has been underway for the past several weeks. This acquisition builds on Cycurion’s disciplined growth strategy by delivering innovative new products and capabilities that directly address its clients’ evolving needs for security, privacy, proactive threat defense and operational efficiency.
This acquisition reflects CEO Kevin Kelly’s broader strategic vision to transform Cycurion into a technology-enabled, AI-first security company. Under Mr. Kelly’s leadership, Cycurion is executing a deliberate transformation—building a platform that delivers advanced cybersecurity, privacy, and digital defense capabilities not only to U.S. Government agencies and leading corporations, but increasingly to the retail consumer market. This expansion marks a significant evolution in Cycurion’s addressable market, democratizing access to enterprise-grade security tools for businesses and individuals of all sizes.
Halo Privacy, a pioneer in privacy- and security-first communications with more than 10 years of specialized expertise, brings approximately $7 million in revenue and $5.5 million in high-quality annual recurring revenue (ARR), with trailing ARR representing approximately 80% of revenue, along with a robust gross margin profile of approximately 55%. The transaction provides immediate top-line growth and substantial back-office cost synergies through streamlined operations, shared infrastructure, and operational efficiencies.
At its core is Halo Link, Halo Privacy’s groundbreaking secure and private messaging and voice application now available in the App Store. Purpose-built with state-of-the-art end-to-end encryption and true user anonymity, Halo Link delivers advanced privacy and security features designed to meet the most demanding operational and personal requirements.
HavenX completes the privacy and security portfolio with world-class digital investigation capabilities, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), cyber-harassment and defamation attribution, IP geolocation, breach-data correlation, and high-confidence threat-actor identification. As demonstrated in recent high-profile cases—such as the Nemesis investigation that successfully attributed coordinated defamation and harassment campaigns against Cycurion executives—HavenX transforms passive privacy into active, intelligence-driven defense.
The combined solution delivers powerful new synergies for public safety and national security users. U.S. Government and private-sector clients alike will now benefit from a single, trusted platform that pairs secure anonymous communications with real-time threat attribution and digital defense capabilities that directly enhance mission-critical operations, protect personnel and assets, and strengthen overall public safety posture.
“This acquisition exemplifies Cycurion’s continued execution of its growth strategy while serving our clients with cutting-edge new products,” said Kevin Kelly, CEO of Cycurion. “By uniting Halo Privacy’s revolutionary Halo Link technology and HavenX’s elite digital investigations expertise with our own cybersecurity architecture, we are delivering the most advanced privacy and defense ecosystem available. Our world-class team—comprised of top-tier professionals with extensive national security backgrounds—ensures our clients receive unmatched expertise and support.”
“My strategic plan for Cycurion has always been to harness the power of AI and advanced technology to reshape how security is delivered—moving from a services-driven model to a scalable, technology-enabled platform. Today, that means serving government and enterprise clients with unmatched capabilities. Tomorrow, it means bringing those same world-class tools to the retail consumer market, giving every individual and business the protection they deserve. This is how Cycurion plans to become a defining force across every segment of the security industry.”
The platform directly addresses the full spectrum of modern digital risks while providing immediate financial and operational value:
Secure and anonymous communications via Halo Link;
Advanced cryptography engineered to withstand tomorrow’s threats;
Proactive threat attribution and intelligence powered by HavenX’s Nemesis-class capabilities;
High-quality, recurring revenue with trailing ARR at approximately 80% of Halo’s revenue;
Significant back-office synergies and accelerated growth;
Expansion into the retail consumer market, delivering enterprise-grade privacy; and security tools to individuals and businesses of all sizes.
This strategic move positions Cycurion at the forefront of the rapidly expanding secure communications, digital privacy, and public safety technology markets.
