Cycurion, Inc. (NAS DAQ: CYCU) $CYCU Recently Announced a $500,000 Share Repurchase Plan Plus US Patent Protection Extended on Vital Technology for Wide Ranging Security Platforms.

MCLEAN, Va. - Californer -- Cycurion, Inc. (NAS DAQ: CYCU) is a tech-enabled cybersecurity firm that serves some of the most complex government agencies and corporations in the world including Fortune 100 and 500 Companies. Founded by internet pioneer Emmit McHenry — who directly oversaw the first internet protocols and the creation of .com domains — CYCU brings an unparalleled blend of vision, technology, and experience to every project. More than just an MSSP or strategic advisor, CYCU is a full-service security partner capable of guiding any organization through the modern cyber threat landscape.

Patent Protection Extended on VuLink®, Cross-Activation Technology That Automatically Records and Syncs Every Camera on Scene

CYCU announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Patent No. 12,711,989, "Computer Program, Method, and System for Managing Multiple Data Recording Devices," adding to the intellectual property portfolio acquired with the Digital Ally video solutions business. The grant follows the recently announced CYCU fleet-driver-analytics patent covering the same platform.

The newly granted patent extends the CYCU VuLink® auto-activation family — originally covered by U.S. Patent No. 8,781,292 and continuation No. 10,885,937 — with a system for managing data across multiple recording devices. When any device, such as a body camera, vehicle camera, or microphone, is triggered to record, it signals every other compatible device to start simultaneously, time-stamps each stream for precise synchronization, and links the files together once recording ends.

New Fleet Driver Analytics Patent, Opening a $100 Billion+ Telematics Market While Expanding Customer Base and Deepening Client Retention

CYCU announced the addition of U.S. Patent No. 12,705,983, titled "Tracking and analysis of drivers within a fleet of vehicles," to the intellectual property portfolio acquired with the Digital Ally video solutions business.

The newly granted patent extends the CYCU video and evidence management platform into fleet driver analytics — a category that opens the Company to the global vehicle telematics market, which Fortune Business Insights estimates at approximately $102 billion in 2026 and projects will reach approximately $199 billion by 2034.

The patented CYCU technology enables fleet operators to track vehicles, map incidents with linked video evidence, and generate comparative driver performance profiles and scores. Its addition brings CYCU total related patent assets to more than 50.

$500,000 Share Repurchase Program, Citing Meaningful Undervaluation

The CYCU announced Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $500,000 over the next 12 months.

Under the program, the Company may repurchase shares of its CYCU common stock in open-market transactions or through other lawful methods. No repurchase may be effected without the prior approval of the Chief Financial Officer, who may withhold approval in the CFO's sole discretion based on liquidity, projected cash requirements, financing restrictions, or other financial considerations.

"We believe Cycurion is meaningfully undervalued relative to the business we have built and the trajectory we are on," said L. Kevin Kelly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CYCU. "The recent closing of the Kustom Entertainment video-solutions acquisition is expected to contribute more than $5 million in annual revenue and over $1.2 million in EBITDA. Together with the Secuvant, LLC acquisition and our $54.6 million contract, these milestones are expected to increase our annualized revenue run rate to approximately $30 million. With strengthened liquidity from our recent warrant inducement transaction and a growing pipeline of federal and public-sector opportunities, the Board has authorized this program as a clear expression of our confidence in the long-term value of the Company."
