pro forma gross revenue run rate financial
"lifting Cycurion’s pro forma gross revenue run rate to approximately $30 million"
EBITDA financial
"adding more than $5 million in annual revenue and over $1.2 million in EBITDA"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
intellectual property portfolio financial
"adding to the intellectual property portfolio acquired with the Digital Ally video solutions business"
A collection of a company’s legally recognized creations and rights—such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and licensing agreements—that together protect its products, brands and technologies. Think of it as the company’s toolbox or recipe box: some items keep competitors out, some can be rented or sold, and some enable unique products. For investors, the breadth and strength of this portfolio affect future revenue potential, competitive position and legal risk, so it influences valuation and investment decisions.
body-worn and vehicle camera technical
"Automatic, simultaneous recording across every body-worn and vehicle camera on scene"
time-stamped synchronization technical
"Time-stamped synchronization for reliable, multi-device review"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Exhibit 99.1
Cycurion Extends Patent Protection on VuLink®, the Cross-Activation Technology That Automatically Records and Syncs Every Camera on Scene, Never Missing an Event
August 19, 2026
Newly issued patent strengthens VuLink®'s automatic cross-activation and synchronized recording, reducing distractions and sharpening the evidentiary edge for the more than 800 law enforcement and public safety clients gained in the Digital Ally acquisition
MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 19, 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 that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Patent No. 12,711,989, “Computer Program, Method, and System for Managing Multiple Data Recording Devices,” adding to the intellectual property portfolio acquired with the Digital Ally video solutions business. The grant follows the Company’s recently announced fleet-driver-analytics patent covering the same platform.
The newly granted patent extends the Company’s VuLink® auto-activation family — originally covered by U.S. Patent No. 8,781,292 and continuation No. 10,885,937 — with a system for managing data across multiple recording devices. When any device, such as a body camera, vehicle camera, or microphone, is triggered to record, it signals every other compatible device to start simultaneously, time-stamps each stream for precise synchronization, and links the files together once recording ends.
At the heart of VuLink is a wireless system that lets compatible cameras recognize and trigger one another automatically within a configurable range — no manual syncing, no devices left behind, no camera missed.
Closing the Gap Officers Can’t Close Themselves
When multiple officers converge on a fast-moving scene, there isn’t always time to hit record on every body camera and every in-car system. VuLink closes that gap automatically, and its synchronized time stamps let investigators align footage from every device with precision — strengthening the evidentiary record used in courtrooms and internal reviews alike.
Key benefits of the patented technology include:
•Automatic, simultaneous recording across every body-worn and vehicle camera on scene.
•Time-stamped synchronization for reliable, multi-device review.
•Hands-free, remote activation — even for officers away from the vehicle.
•Stronger chain of custody and multi-perspective evidence for investigations and prosecutions.
Built-In Value Across Cycurion’s Public Safety Client Base
The capability runs on compatible Digital Ally in-car and body-worn systems already fielded across the more than 800 law enforcement and municipal client relationships gained through the acquisition. Adding automatic multi-device coordination to platforms these agencies already depend on makes Cycurion’s offering harder to replace and easier to expand within every account.
An Addition to Cycurion’s Product Suite
The patented technology strengthens the Digital Ally video and evidence management platform and plugs directly into Cycurion’s broader stack — the ARx AI platform, which secures the connected devices and evidence repositories these systems depend on, and Axxum Technologies and Cloudburst Security, which support the underlying government and enterprise infrastructure.
The result: one vendor that captures, synchronizes, manages, and secures multi-perspective evidence — end to end.
“This is exactly the kind of intellectual property we bought Digital Ally to build on,” said L. Kevin Kelly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cycurion. “VuLink means officers no longer have to think about hitting record on five different devices in a crisis — the cameras handle it themselves, instantly and in sync. Paired with our AI-driven cybersecurity, that’s a differentiated offering that gives agencies more complete evidence and makes our platform harder for competitors to match.”
Cycurion completed the acquisition of Kustom Entertainment’s legacy Digital Ally video solutions business on August 3, 2026, adding more than $5 million in annual revenue and over $1.2 million in EBITDA — lifting Cycurion’s pro forma gross revenue run rate to approximately $30 million. The transaction included access to more than 800 client relationships and a portfolio of more than 50 patents, to which today’s grant is added.
