Integrated Quantum Technologies Unveils AIQu(TM) VEIL(TM), a Breakthrough Quantum-Resilient AI Infrastructure Platform Redefining Enterprise AI

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 22, 2026) – Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (CSE: ICS) (OTCQB: IGCRF) (FSE: Y4G), dba Integrated Quantum Technologies

(“Integrated Quantum,” or the “Company”), a developer of quantum-ready AI infrastructure for global enterprises that handle highly sensitive data, today announced the unveiling of AIQu VEIL (Vector-Encoded Information Layer). VEIL is a foundational quantum-resilient AI infrastructure technology purpose-built to enable enterprises to use and scale artificial intelligence while protecting regulated, sensitive, and proprietary data-without compromising performance, accuracy, or operational efficiency.

Key Highlights:

• Integrated Quantum Technologies unveils AIQu VEIL, a quantum-resilient AI infrastructure platform that enables enterprises to deploy and scale AI without exposing regulated, sensitive, or proprietary data, while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and scalability.
• Vector-Encoded Information Layer (VEIL) uses proprietary Informationally Compressive Anonymization (ICA), which allows AI models to operate entirely on anonymized, compressed data with superior downstream speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
• Enterprises can deploy AI models that operate entirely on compressed, information-theoretically anonymized data, enabling organizations to have privacy-preserving ML deployments without sacrificing accuracy, speed, or scalability, enabled by proprietary data processing that occurs before information ever enters the AI pipeline.
• Positions Integrated Quantum Technologies at the forefront of quantum AI infrastructure, addressing critical enterprise challenges including data protection, regulatory compliance, multinational deployment complexity, and long-term security, now and in the quantum era.

As AI adoption accelerates globally, enterprises face mounting challenges related to data protection, regulatory compliance, and long-term security. These challenges are magnified for multinational organizations that must deploy redundant, regionally-pinned AI and ML instances in multiple jurisdictions, resulting in fragmented architectures, model version drift, duplicated infrastructure, and rising operational complexity. At the same time, today’s security and privacy standards impose significant performance penalties, making them impractical for real-world enterprise AI at scale.

“Enterprises are eager to adopt AI, but the reality is that today’s infrastructure was never designed for the regulatory, security, and multinational complexity they now face,” said Alan Guibord, CEO and Chairman of Integrated Quantum Technologies. “AIQu VEIL represents a foundational leap forward-one that allows organizations to deploy AI without exposing their most valuable data. We believe this technology positions IQT as a leader in the emerging Quantum AI Infrastructure category and has the potential to reshape how AI is deployed across industries.”

Jeremy Samuelson, EVP of AI and Innovation, added, “After working inside large enterprises, it became clear that existing approaches simply don’t solve the real problems-whether it’s data protection, model sprawl, or performance degradation. VEIL was built to eliminate those constraints entirely. By replacing the traditional AI pipeline with infrastructure that only ever ingests and processes mathematically anonymized data, we’re enabling a new generation of AI systems that are both practical and secure at scale. This is what enterprises have been missing.”

Born from Enterprise Reality, Not Theory

AIQu VEIL was conceived and developed by former Equifax leader Jeremy Samuelson, EVP of AI and Innovation, following years of hands-on experience designing and deploying AI and machine learning (ML) systems within large enterprise environments. Through this work, Samuelson recognized a consistent and systemic issue. Enterprises depend on ML to generate competitive insight, automate decisions, and optimize operations, yet data protection in ML pipelines remains an afterthought within the vast majority of organizations. Meanwhile, attackers are continuing to become increasingly sophisticated, exposing more attack surfaces within ML deployments. Regardless of regulatory requirements, enterprise data are inherently proprietary, and existing AI architectures expose data to unacceptable risk. As a result, organizations face mounting regulatory hurdles, operational inefficiencies, and scalability constraints, leaving them without practical ways to deploy AI safely, efficiently, and consistently at enterprise scale.

Over nearly three years of focused development, Samuelson architected VEIL, a new infrastructure layer designed to eliminate these constraints entirely by reimagining how data are handled within AI pipelines from first principles rather than relying on incremental or academic approaches.

How AIQu VEIL Works

Unlike conventional AI architectures, which rely on direct access to raw or minimally processed data, or in many cases, manually anonymized data which have been stripped of important signals, AIQu VEIL fundamentally changes how data enter and moves through AI systems.

VEIL transforms data using a proprietary Informationally Compressive Anonymization (ICA) process. Through ICA, data are anonymized and compressed into vectorized representations before ever entering the AI or ML pipeline. As a result, raw data are never exposed, processed, or retained within the system.

This represents a new class of AI infrastructure, enabling:

• AI and ML pipelines with zero raw data exposure
• Global single-instance deployment without duplicative infrastructure or version drift
• Superior downstream performance, including speed, accuracy, and data efficiency
• Reduced regulatory and compliance friction across jurisdictions, including requirements under frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and other data protection and privacy regimes
• Native resilience against future quantum-era threats, since even computationally unbounded attackers can’t extract information that is simply not present.

Why AIQu VEIL Is Revolutionary

Existing privacy-preserving approaches such as homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, both recognized standards by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), are widely regarded as impractical for enterprise-scale AI. While theoretically sound, these methods are computationally intensive, difficult to deploy, and introduce severe downstream performance degradation, limiting their adoption in real-world systems.

AIQu VEIL takes a fundamentally different approach.

VEIL is not a traditional encryption method. Instead, it introduces a new form of data protection that combines proprietary anonymization with compression through ICA, enabling unprecedented gains in performance and efficiency. By embedding data protection directly into the infrastructure layer, VEIL eliminates the trade-offs that have historically forced enterprises to choose between privacy, security, and performance.

Management believes this is the first time anonymization and compression have been unified to such great effect, creating a new standard for AI data handling-one that is both enterprise-ready and future-proof.

Positioning for the Quantum AI Era

AIQu VEIL is designed from the ground up to be quantum-resilient, positioning Integrated Quantum Technologies at the forefront of quantum AI infrastructure. As quantum computing advances threaten conventional data protection methods, VEIL provides enterprises with a path forward that does not rely on brittle or compute-heavy techniques.

The Company believes AIQu will serve as its long-term platform, with VEIL as a core infrastructure layer supporting future products, partnerships, and industry-specific solutions across highly regulated and data-sensitive sectors.

Broad Market Implications

With AIQu VEIL, Integrated Quantum Technologies believes industries such as financial services, healthcare, government, defense, energy, and critical infrastructure can revisit AI adoption with a fresh lens-unlocking capabilities that were previously constrained by privacy, compliance, and security concerns, and limited by the trade-offs they were forced to make to address these concerns.

The Company believes this infrastructure-level innovation has the potential to solve some of the most persistent challenges in AI and computing, while establishing a new benchmark for how data are handled in intelligent systems.
