**Cycurion (CYCU) Acquires Halo Privacy and HavenX to Build Comprehensive Secure Communications and Digital Defense Platform**

MCLEAN, Va., May 07, 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 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Secure and anonymous communications via Halo Link;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Advanced cryptography engineered to withstand tomorrow's threats;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• High-quality, recurring revenue with trailing ARR at approximately 80% of Halo's revenue;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Significant back-office synergies and accelerated growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.
