Integrated Cyber Solutions Expands Presence in the Middle East and North Africa through Strategic Partnership with OWS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – May 27, 2025  –  Integrated Cyber Solutions, Inc.  (CSE:ICS) (FRA:Y4G ) (OTCQB:IGCRF), a leader in human-centered cybersecurity services, is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its operations across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), marked by a strategic partnership with OWS Training and Consulting Middle East.

Over the past year, Integrated Cyber has made substantial progress establishing a regional foundation through several key partnerships with experienced local representatives. These partners bring deep networks and trusted relationships, enabling accelerated market penetration and long-term growth opportunities.

The Company identified the MENA region as a strategic focus after extensive market research revealed a significant gap in human-centered cybersecurity services—an area where over 85% of cyber intrusions originate. Integrated Cyber’s proprietary “Humanization” approach addresses this vulnerability by focusing on the human element, a critical yet underserved aspect of cybersecurity in the region.

“We’ve collaborated closely with government leaders to align our mission with national cybersecurity goals,” said Alan Guibord, CEO of Integrated Cyber Solutions Middle East FZ. “These relationships have given us invaluable access to a rapidly expanding market where we are uniquely positioned as a first mover.”

Integrated Cyber’s expansion is supported by a seasoned team of U.S. cybersecurity experts, along with academic collaborations with leading regional universities. The Company has built a robust pipeline of high-potential opportunities and anticipates substantial revenue growth in the coming year.

As part of this regional strategy, Integrated Cyber is proud to partner with  OWS Training and Consulting Middle East . This partnership allows OWS to broaden its service offerings into the cybersecurity space, while providing Integrated Cyber with a trusted, on-the-ground partner to help drive expansion and service delivery.

“This is a perfect fit for both organizations—we share a strong commitment to empowering individuals and cultivating resilient corporate cultures,” added Alan Guibord.

Dr. Jamal Al Saeedi, CEO of OWS, echoed the sentiment: “We’re excited to build on our success in the region. Integrated Cyber’s innovative approach is well-aligned with our strategic vision and growth plans.”
