Cybeats Highlights Commercial Success in Infrastructure Sector; Client Acquisition and Contract Extensions, Showcasing Organic Growth

TORONTO, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Cybeats Technologies Corp. (“Cybeats” or the “Company”) (CSE: CYBT) (OTCQB: CYBCF), a Company offering industry-leading cybersecurity software, is pleased to highlight client renewals and expanded contracts, reaffirming the Company’s 100% client retention rate as well as increased product usage by some of the largest infrastructures and industrial control systems (ICS) companies in the U.S.¹

Cybeats continues to demonstrate its leadership role in the ICS sector, having secured four of the global top 10 companies as clients, as well as several extensions and increased usage from its client base in ICS. Contract extensions in the ICS space were by Cybeats’ multinational clients with market capitalizations of $130 billion, $60 billion and $50 billion. Recently, Cybeats added a water technology and infrastructure client with a $30 billion market cap and an electrical infrastructure company with a $20 billion market cap. With enhanced regulatory pressures on U.S. and EU critical infrastructure, the sector continues to be one of the largest pipeline and market opportunities for Cybeats.

“The client traction and increased usage of SBOM Studio by the ICS sector is driven by our successful delivery of operational efficiencies and comprehensive solutions, including automated workflows and insights, that we provide to our clients. With strong organic contract growth in the space, and while maintaining 100% client retention, the Infrastructure sector presents an immense opportunity for Cybeats that continues to help validate our approach, and further solidify the trust and reliance on Cybeats’ technology across industry,” said Justin Leger, CEO, Cybeats.

Industrial Cyber Regulations & Requirements

NERC CIP³ (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection) is a set of requirements and standards to enhance the reliability and security of the electric utility grid by identifying and protecting critical cyber assets that, if compromised or destroyed, would impact the operation of the grid. Violations can also lead to penalties, making it essential for applicable entities to implement effective security measures and compliance strategies.

ISA 62443⁴ standards provide a structured framework for addressing and mitigating security vulnerabilities in industrial automation and control systems (IACS). These standards are used globally and are applicable to multiple sectors, including manufacturing, power generation, water treatment, and other industries that rely heavily on automation and control systems. They aim to provide a common language and set of best practices to ensure that industrial systems are both secure and resilient against disruptions from cyber threats.

Executive Order 14028⁵ bolsters U.S. cybersecurity through several key measures, including mandating the development of standards like the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for more transparent software supply chain security, aimed to enhance national security and address the evolving landscape of cyber threats.

Cybeats will be participating in the 2024 ISA OT cybersecurity Summit⁷ in London, UK, an event dedicated to safeguarding operational technology in sectors like energy, manufacturing, and building automation. It will feature the latest updates with ISA/IEC 62443 standards, and provide a platform for sharing insights about protection practices to enhance infrastructure and data security.
