Exhibit 99.1
Cycurion Board Authorizes $500,000 Share Repurchase Program, Citing Meaningful Undervaluation
August 17, 2026
MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a provider of cybersecurity, public safety technology, and managed services solutions, today announced that its 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 common stock from time to time in open-market transactions or through other lawful methods, subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws, and other factors. 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. The authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.
“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 Cycurion. “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.”
The repurchase authorization is intentionally structured as a discretionary ceiling rather than a commitment. It gives management the flexibility to return capital when conditions warrant while keeping liquidity, integration priorities, and operating needs firmly in front.
Any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws and Delaware law, including the capital impairment limitations of Section 160 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, will be evaluated on a purchase-by-purchase basis, and may be made pursuant to a plan established in advance. The Company will report repurchase activity under the program in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This authorization is one element of a broader capital-allocation approach that management and the Board will continue to evaluate as the Company’s fundamentals continue to strengthen.

Exhibit 99.2
Cycurion Granted New Fleet Driver Analytics Patent, Opening a $100 Billion+ Telematics Market While Expanding Its Customer Base and Deepening Client Retention
August 18, 2026
Newly granted U.S. patent adds fleet driver analytics to the Digital Ally platform — positioning Cycurion to pursue commercial trucking, logistics, and delivery fleets while making its video and evidence platform more valuable to more than 800 existing agency clients
MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a leading provider of AI-driven cybersecurity and public safety technology solutions, today 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 Cycurion’s 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. Cycurion’s serviceable opportunity is a subset of that total addressable market, and the Company’s ability to capture any portion of it is subject to the risks described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
The patented technology enables fleet operators to track vehicles, map incidents with linked video evidence, and generate comparative driver performance profiles and scores. Its addition brings Cycurion’s total related patent assets to more than 50.
Why This Market Is Growing
Demand for fleet driver analytics is being driven by pressures that fall on nearly every organization operating vehicles at scale:
•Rising insurance and liability costs. According to industry reporting, commercial auto premiums and litigation exposure have climbed sharply, and insurers increasingly price policies against demonstrated driver behavior. Video evidence and objective driver scoring have become central to defending claims and negotiating rates.
•The shift to behavior-based and usage-based insurance. Underwriters now reward fleets that can document how their drivers actually perform, which the Company believes is shifting comparative driver profiling from a discretionary purchase toward a budgeted one.
•Regulatory and safety compliance requirements. Federal and state safety mandates continue to push fleets toward continuous electronic monitoring and auditable incident records.
•Driver recruitment and retention pressure. Persistent driver shortages have made coaching, performance feedback, and fair, data-backed evaluation central to keeping experienced drivers.
•The convergence of video and telematics. Fleets that once bought cameras and tracking systems separately are consolidating onto single platforms that link location data to video evidence — precisely the combination this patent covers.
Together, these forces are expanding the market for exactly the capability Cycurion has now secured: linking vehicle location, incident data, and video evidence into a comparative view of driver performance.
Expanding the Customer Base
The solution is designed for organizations that operate vehicle fleets and need actionable insight into driver behavior and incident response, including:
•Law enforcement agencies and public safety organizations
•Municipal and government fleets
•Commercial fleet operators in trucking, logistics, delivery, and corporate transportation
By combining proven Digital Ally video systems with advanced driver analytics, Cycurion is positioned to pursue commercial buyers well beyond its traditional public safety market — a customer set the Company has not previously addressed with this platform.
Deepening Value for Existing Clients
The capability is also intended to increase the day-to-day operational value of systems already deployed across Cycurion’s installed base of more than 800 law enforcement and municipal clients. By adding driver scoring and incident mapping to platforms those agencies already rely on for video and evidence management, Cycurion believes the technology is designed to make its offering more deeply embedded in customer operations and to support stronger long-term retention, although no assurance can be given as to future renewal or retention rates.
An Addition to Cycurion’s Product Suite
The patented technology is not a standalone product line. It slots into the suite Cycurion has assembled across cybersecurity, public safety, and mission-critical operations — and each component makes the others more valuable to the same buyer:
•Digital Ally video and evidence management — the in-vehicle and body-worn capture systems and evidence workflow acquired in August 2026, the patented technology is intended to extend beyond recording and storage with fleet-level driver analytics.
•The ARx AI platform — Cycurion’s AI-enabled cybersecurity platform, which secures the connected devices, uploads, and evidence repositories that fleet and public safety video depend on.
•Axxum Technologies and Cloudburst Security — network, program management, and security services that support the government and enterprise infrastructure these deployments run on.
Cycurion’s objective is to offer a single vendor that can capture the video, analyze the driver behavior behind it, manage the resulting evidence, and secure the chain end to end. Connected fleet and public safety systems generate sensitive, evidentiary data across vehicles, cloud storage, and agency networks — a combination that the Company believes few point-solution telematics vendors are positioned to protect. Cycurion intends to sell these capabilities together, giving new commercial fleet customers a path into the broader portfolio and giving existing public safety clients additional capability from a vendor already embedded in their operations.
“This patent is more than an incremental win — it opens Cycurion to a global telematics market estimated at more than $100 billion,” said L. Kevin Kelly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cycurion. “We are taking a strong video and evidence platform and adding the fleet driver intelligence commercial operators need, while giving our public safety customers more powerful tools and more reasons to stay with us. Layered with Cycurion’s AI cybersecurity capabilities, this creates a differentiated offering that we believe few competitors can match.”
Cycurion completed the acquisition of Kustom Entertainment’s legacy Digital Ally video solutions business on August 3, 2026. The transaction added more than $5 million in annual revenue and over $1.2 million in EBITDA, contributing to a pro forma gross revenue run rate of approximately $30 million.
