Integrated Quantum Technologies Debuts MASQ(TM), an AI Agent Governance and Security Architecture, Initiates Patent Process, and Announces Strategic Market Awareness Initiatives

New Intellectual Property Initiative Focused on Secure AI Agent Deployment, Action Governance and Context Protection.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 28, 2026) – Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (CSE: ICS) (OTCQB: IGCRF) (FSE: Y4G), doing business as Integrated Quantum Technologies (“Integrated Quantum”, “IQT”, or the “Company”), today announced the initiation of the patent process for MASQ (Machine Action Security Quotient), a next-generation governance and security framework designed for AI agents and autonomous AI systems.

MASQ is being developed to help organizations define, manage and enforce what information AI agents are permitted to access, what actions they are authorized to perform, and how sensitive internal agent context, memory and reasoning environments are protected during interactions with APIs, MCP servers, enterprise tools, skills and external systems.

Designed to address rising security, governance and operational risks resulting from the rapid deployment of AI agents across enterprise environments, MASQ is designed to provide governance and control over:

• Agent permissions and authorized actions
• Access to enterprise systems and data environments
• Interactions with APIs, external tools and MCP servers
• Protection of sensitive information contained within agent context windows, internal attention states and reasoning environments.

“AI agents are becoming increasingly autonomous and interconnected, and organizations will require governance systems capable of controlling not only what agents can access and execute, but also how sensitive contextual reasoning data is protected during machine-to-machine interaction,” said Jeremy J. Samuelson, EVP, Artificial Intelligence & Innovation at Integrated Quantum. “This patent initiative reflects our continued focus on building foundational infrastructure for secure enterprise AI deployment.”

The Company has engaged intellectual property counsel to support the development and protection of MASQ, and believes the rapid emergence of agentic AI systems, autonomous orchestration frameworks, AI copilots and machine-to-machine reasoning environments is creating a new category of enterprise cybersecurity and governance challenges not adequately addressed by traditional cybersecurity architectures.

MASQ is intended to become a core component of Integrated Quantum’s broader AIQu platform, focused on security-first, privacy-preserving and quantum-resilient AI infrastructure.

Integrated Quantum believes the continued expansion of enterprise AI adoption, autonomous AI workflows and agentic computing environments may significantly increase demand for secure governance and orchestration frameworks designed specifically for machine reasoning systems and AI-driven operational environments.

Expanding Market Visibility and Investor Engagement

The Company also announces the appointment of Euroswiss Capital Partners Inc. (“Euroswiss”) as a strategic marketing and financial advisory partner to support increased brand recognition and capital markets visibility across central Europe.
