VANCOUVER, British Columbia – April 8, 2025 – Integrated Cyber Solutions, Inc. (CSE: ICS) (FSE: 4YG) (OTCQB: IGCRF), a leader in human-centered cybersecurity services, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Ideal Proposition Cyber Security Foundation (IPCS), a premier cybersecurity provider based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This alliance marks a significant step forward in ICS's global expansion strategy. It secures a powerful footprint in the Middle East and Pakistan—two regions undergoing rapid digital transformation and facing acute cybersecurity skills shortages.
As government, financial, energy, and industrial sectors across the Middle East digitize at scale, the region faces a growing shortfall in qualified cybersecurity talent. Yet few, if any, competitors offer specialized, Arabic-language, in-person cybersecurity education. This partnership gives ICS an early-mover advantage, enabling immediate revenue generation with minimal upfront competition and a direct path to market leadership.
Through this alliance, ICS and IPCS will deliver cybersecurity training in Arabic and English, leveraging ICS's proprietary "Humanization of Cybersecurity" methodology. This approach turns human behavior into an organization's strongest defense—empowering employees with the mindset, knowledge, and tools to actively reduce cyber risk.
The initial rollout focuses on monthly in-person and online cybersecurity training programs designed to deliver recurring revenue while offering deep insights into client vulnerabilities. These insights lay the groundwork for expanded, high-margin services such as managed cybersecurity operations, compliance assessments, and strategic advisory support—creating a complete lifecycle engagement model.
"The combination of IPCS's regional expertise and ICS's innovative cyber services presents a tremendous opportunity to expand in both markets," said Alan Guibord, CEO of Integrated Cyber Solutions. "Together, we are well-positioned to deliver industry-leading services that address the unique challenges faced by organizations in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. This is not just about geography—it's about unlocking sustainable, scalable growth with the right local partners."
"We are excited to join forces with Integrated Cyber Solutions to extend our combined expertise to organizations throughout Saudi Arabia and Pakistan," said Shakeel Sarwar, Director of Business. "This partnership reflects our shared commitment to enhancing cyber resilience amid the growing threat landscape. By delivering top-tier training, advanced tools, and strategic advisory services, we aim to empower businesses to safeguard their digital infrastructure. Our collaboration is a step toward a more secure and robust digital ecosystem for the region—aligned with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 under its visionary leadership."
Strategic Value for Investors
This announcement underscores ICS's disciplined international growth strategy for Canadian and U.S. investors: identifying underserved, high-demand markets, forming local alliances, and deploying capital efficiently to drive early revenue and long-term service expansion.
The move supports a proven market entry model based on education, trust, and recurring revenue. It aligns with ICS's broader vision to deliver managed cybersecurity services at scale across SMB and SME sectors globally. With cyber threats increasing worldwide, ICS is executing its vision to be a global leader in accessible, human-centered cyber protection—starting with regions that need it most.
