The Most Dangerous Threat in Cybersecurity Isn’t AI. It’s You.

On behalf of Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc.

Forget what you’ve heard about zero-day exploits, deepfakes, and rogue LLMs.

Yes, they’re terrifying.

But the real reason cyberattacks succeed over 88% of the time comes down to one thing:¹

Human error.

Clicking the wrong link. Reusing a weak password. Falling for an email that seems legit.

This is how the hackers get in.

Just ask Marks and Spencer Group.

The company just revealed it lost £300 million (US$339 million) after a critical cyber incident — and blamed it not on a sophisticated AI tool or a state-sponsored group… but human error.

One bad click. One avoidable mistake.

And the fallout was enormous.

It’s not just Marks & Spencer.

In the last 3 months alone, over 870 million people have been affected by a cyberattack or major data breach — from household brands to global enterprises.²

That’s not an anomaly. That’s a global pattern.

And now, with generative AI making phishing campaigns nearly indistinguishable from real ones.

The war for your company’s cybersecurity isn’t being fought in the cloud.

It’s being fought inside your employees’ inboxes.

And we’re losing.

Meanwhile, enterprises are spending billions on software tools that defend the perimeter³ — firewalls, antivirus, endpoint scanners — all while leaving the actual breach vector unprotected:

The human layer.

There’s a reason cybercriminals are shifting tactics.

AI is allowing them to scale social engineering attacks, impersonate CEOs, clone customer service reps, and automate employee manipulation — all at near-zero cost.

It’s the perfect storm: advanced attacks targeting the most vulnerable entry point.

So why are almost all cybersecurity budgets still focused on infrastructure instead of behavior?

Because until now… there hasn’t been a viable solution.

And with quantum machines on track to break the very foundations of digital security, most companies are still relying on tools that won’t survive the shift.

That’s exactly what one under-the-radar public company is solving — and it’s doing so with a strategy that has never been tried at scale before.

They’re not selling another antivirus platform.

They’re not another endpoint monitoring startup.

Instead, they’ve quietly built something new:

An AI-powered behavioral defense platform designed to transform every employee into a trained threat sensor — and aggregate real-time data from over 20 of the world’s most trusted cybersecurity tools into a single intelligent dashboard.

They call it the IC360 Platform — and insiders believe it could be the beginning of a new category in global cybersecurity…

A category this tiny US$16M startup just might dominate.

Let’s take a closer look.

The Company Redefining Cybersecurity from the Inside Out

Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) isn’t building another layer of digital armor — it’s rewriting the cybersecurity playbook entirely.

Instead of trying to stop hackers at the firewall, Integrated Cyber Solutions is focused on neutralizing threats where they start: human behavior.

Their flagship technology — IC360 — is an AI-powered behavioral defense platform that transforms everyday employees into trained cybersecurity assets.

It continuously analyzes user behavior, identifies vulnerabilities, and delivers personalized, adaptive training before threats ever reach your infrastructure.

But what truly sets IC360 apart?

Integration and intelligence.

Rather than asking organizations to rip out their tech stack, Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) makes sense of it — aggregating data from well-established tools like SentinelOne, Proofpoint, KnowBe4, and Rapid7 into a single AI-driven dashboard.

The result? 

Real-time insights that tell companies exactly where they’re vulnerable, and how to fix it.

With strategic partnerships across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, and Africa, Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is now embedding itself as the default behavioral cybersecurity provider in regions where demand is surging — and where few competitors can follow.

But this isn’t just about reaching new markets. It’s also about staying ahead of tomorrow’s threats.

China just used a quantum computer to break RSA encryption — the same encryption that protects governments, banks, hospitals, and corporations around the world.⁴ 

This isn’t a drill. It’s a wake-up call.

ICS didn’t wait for the alarm.

It launched its Quantum Cybersecurity Initiative to get ahead of exactly this threat — and now it’s one of the few public companies already building defenses for the post-quantum era.

And to take things even further?

ICS just plugged into NVIDIA, joining its elite Connect Program to supercharge IC360 with next-level AI.⁶

And this entire playbook?

It might sound familiar… because another company once took a similar path.

KnowBe4 vs. ICS: A Tale of Two Cyber‑Security Visions

Introducing the Benchmark

KnowBe4 is widely recognized as the original human risk management pioneer, having transformed cybersecurity by treating employees not just as risks—but as defenses. 

Since launching in 2010⁷ and going public at $16/share in April 2021⁸ (valuing it at around $2.6B and soaring to $3.5B by IPO day⁹), KnowBe4 has become the world’s leading platform for security awareness training and phishing simulations, now serving nearly 70,000 organizations with over 50 million end users including 47 of the top 50 cybersecurity firms.¹⁰

Their core offering includes:

  • Simulated Phishing: Launch attacks and detect real-world click rates
  • Training Content Library: Engaging, multilingual modules, videos, games¹¹ 
  • PhishER, SecurityCoach & AI Agents: Tools to analyze threats and coach users in real time¹²
  • Security Awareness Culture-Building: Automated campaigns and executive reporting¹³

This approach has been wildly successful—propelling KnowBe4 to dominant public-company status and mainstream recognition.

How ICS Compares — And Where It Pulls Ahead

While Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) builds on KnowBe4’s foundation, it goes several levels deeper:

1. Core Focus: Training vs. Holistic Defense

    • KnowBe4 emphasizes training and awareness—equipping employees to identify and report phishing. It’s a powerful tool but remains siloed, with limited visibility into how threats interact with broader security systems.¹⁴,¹⁵
    • ICS, by contrast, integrates that training into a broader AI and inference-driven ecosystemIC360—that doesn’t stop at awareness:
      • Aggregates data from 20+ security platforms (SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Rapid7, etc.)
      • Runs all of it through an AI-powered engine to reveal correlations and risk trends
      • Applies personalized interventions based on behavior and ecosystem intelligence

2. From Passive Training to Active Orchestration

    • KnowBe4’s SecurityCoach is a real-time behavior coaching tool aimed at users.¹⁶ But it still lives within the training silo.
    • Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) takes orchestration further:
      • Connects behavioral data with endpoint, vulnerability, phishing, and policy systems
      • Enables automated threat flashes, flagging risky users and compromised devices in context
      • Bridges the gap between training and threat response—logging, alerts, and remediation on a unified dashboard

3. Global Reach — Where ICS Leads

    • KnowBe4 is strong in North America and Western Europe. While they serve clients globally, they lack localized delivery and government integration in fast-growing emerging markets.¹⁷
    • Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is rooted deeply in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. Recent moves include:
        • Landing its first international sale with a major shipping company in India¹⁸
        • Major expansion in the Middle East and North Africa through a partnership with OWS Training and Consulting¹⁹
        • Strategic deals with IPCS in Saudi Arabia/Pakistan²⁰
        • MoUs with Tesra Group in India/Sri Lanka²¹
        • JV with HSG Middle East for UAE hospitality, healthcare, and government access²²
        • MOU with KIBA Consulting to expand into MEA²³

These are the same markets where KnowBe4 has limited or no presence—making ICS a true first-mover in regions aligned with national cyber priorities.

4. AI Depth & Ecosystem Intelligence

    • KnowBe4 has embraced AI—releasing AIDA agents, AI-powered coaching, and cloud email protection²⁴
    • Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) built AI orchestration from Day One:
        • The IC360 platform is built to ingest multi-vendor logs, correlate findings, and pinpoint human risk within broader threat contexts.
        • Instead of adding AI as an afterthought, ICS designed a people-centric cybersecurity layer powered by AI, bridging insider behavior with emerging threats in real time.

5. SMB Execution Model & Market Fit

    • KnowBe4 lists its strength in ease-of-use and rapid deployment: launching within days, requiring minimal setup.²⁵ Their target spans SMEs to global enterprises.
    • Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is fully SMB/SME-aligned—but stacks incremental value through managed services:
      • Land-and-expand play: Start with awareness training, then layer on IC360, MDR, vulnerability management
      • Recurring revenue: 80%+ of revenues expected from integrated platform and services²⁶
      • Solid renewal rate in current base—strong sign of stickiness and demand for full-lifecycle support

6. Valuation Contrast & Upside Potential

    • KnowBe4 was acquired for US$4.6 billion, with annual revenue over $300 million.²⁷
    • Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) trades around C$15 million, with deep insider ownership (~33%) and strategic ground-level partnerships.
    • The math is stark: a hybrid awareness + AI orchestration + services provider in emerging cyber markets is a classic early-stage gap-play. The comparison implies room for a re-rate as ICS scales.

9 Reasons

Integrated Cyber (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) Could Become the KnowBe4 of the AI Era — and Then Some

1

ICS Doesn’t Just Train Humans — It Uses Them to Power an AI Engine. KnowBe4 stops at awareness. ICS’s IC360 platform turns employees into intelligent data sources, identifying real-time behavior patterns, flagging anomalies, and automatically adjusting training and threat response. It’s not just smarter — it’s predictive.

2

While KnowBe4 Operates in a Silo, ICS Commands the Entire Cyber Stack. :IC360 integrates with 20+ top cybersecurity tools — including Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Rapid7, and even KnowBe4. Integrated Cyber Solutions unifies these systems through a single AI dashboard, providing security leaders with full visibility across their tech ecosystem. ICS doesn’t replace tools — it amplifies them.

3

ICS Is Dominating the Markets KnowBe4 Ignored. While KnowBe4 focused on Western markets, Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is the first to embed inside cybersecurity infrastructure across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.
Strategic partnerships include:

      • Tesra Group (India & Sri Lanka)
      • IPCS (Saudi Arabia & Pakistan)
      • KIBA Consulting (UAE & Africa)
      • HSG Middle East (UAE hospitality + healthcare)
    • ICS is winning before global incumbents even show up.

4

From One-Time Training to Full-Cycle Cyber Revenue. ICS’s business model is “land and expand” — starting with low-friction awareness training, then scaling customers into IC360, vulnerability management, and managed detection and response (MDR). This builds sticky, recurring revenue with built-in upsell momentum.

5

Powered by AI From Day One — Not As an Add-On. KnowBe4 recently bolted on AI tools like SecurityCoach and AIDA agents. Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) was built on AI from the ground up. IC360’s behavioral scoring, correlation engine, and adaptive defense architecture were designed to solve tomorrow’s threats — not retrofit yesterday’s model.

6

Getting Ahead of the Quantum Threat While AI dominates headlines, quantum computing is the next seismic risk.
Quantum machines will soon be able to crack today’s encryption in seconds — exposing banks, hospitals, governments, Fortune 500 enterprises, and entire global systems.
Integrated Cyber Solutions Inc. (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is moving early. In July 2025, it launched its Quantum Cybersecurity Initiative, aiming to lead the next era of defense before the threat hits.
IBM’s upcoming quantum system, Starling, is expected to perform 20,000 times more operations than current supercomputers. Legacy infrastructure won’t stand a chance.
It’s a clear signal. IBC isn’t just solving for now.
It’s building for what comes next.

7

Getting Ahead of the Quantum Threat Unlike bloated startups chasing vapor valuations, Integrated Cyber insiders own nearly 33% of the company.

        • CEO Alan Guibord: 16.3%
        • Principal insider: 15.3%

This alignment with shareholders means management wins only when investors do.

8

Enterprise Security in a Box — for SMBs. Most cybersecurity companies serve Fortune 500s. ICS is focused on small-to-medium businesses and enterprises (SMBs/SMEs) that have been overlooked — but face the same risks.
Its plug-and-play architecture delivers enterprise-grade security without enterprise-level budgets — giving ICS a clear, underserved market.

9

All This… at a ~$16 Million Market Cap. KnowBe4 went public at a $2.6 billion valuation and hit $5 billion in under two years.

Integrated Cyber Solutions? It’s sitting at just ~US$16 million with:

        • A global rollout already underway
        • Government partnerships in place
        • A best-in-class platform built on AI
        • Sticky revenue and high-margin services
        • Insider alignment
        • And most importantly: zero institutional hype — yet

Investors looking for the next behavioral cybersecurity breakout aren’t early to this story.

They’re right on time.

The only question is:

Will Wall Street recognize what Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is building — before or after the rerate?

Wall Street’s Focus Is in the Wrong Place. ICS Knows Where the Real Growth Is.

While others fight for attention in mature markets, ICS is securing first-mover ground in regions where cyber budgets are doubling and tripling.

Global cybersecurity spending is projected to surge from $193.7 billion in 2024 to $562.7 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights.²⁹ But most of that growth isn’t happening in the US or Europe.

It’s happening in markets where Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is already deeply entrenched.

In the Middle East and Africa, cyber budgets are forecast to rise from $21.1 billion in 2024 to $81 billion by 2033, driven by national digital infrastructure plans and smart city rollouts.³⁰

In India, the opportunity is even more dramatic. Market size is expected to grow from $9.8 billion in 2024 to more than $36.8 billion by 2033.³¹

These are the exact regions Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) has already targeted with in-country partners, localized training programs, and regulatory alignment.

While global incumbents scramble to adapt, ICS is already on the ground—delivering behavioral defense solutions to organizations in the markets where cybersecurity spending is growing fastest.

Wall Street’s Sleeping on the Human Layer. ICS Is Building the Defense Around It.

Most cybersecurity companies are still solving the wrong problem.

They’re building smarter firewalls. More complex code. Faster endpoint detection.

But the majority of breaches don’t come from a failed system. They come from a distracted employee who clicks the wrong link. Forgets to update a password. Fall for a message that seems legitimate.

The real threat isn’t on the network. It’s behind the keyboard.

Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) is one of the only public companies building cybersecurity from the human layer out—training people, identifying behavioral risk in real time, and using AI to personalize and scale defenses across the enterprise.

While most platforms focus on infrastructure, ICS is focused on behavior. And the market hasn’t caught up to what that’s worth.

Tight Float. Insider-Aligned. No Wall Street Coverage—Yet.

Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) isn’t just positioned differently on a tech level. Its stock is structurally tight, insider-backed, and under the radar.

  • Market cap: ~US$16 million
  • Shares outstanding: ~61.7 million
  • Float: ~34 million
  • Insider ownership: ~33%
      • CEO Alan Guibord: 16.3%
      • Marcel Hermes: 15.3%

Roughly one-third of the company is in the hands of people building it. Another 12% is owned by affiliated private groups. That leaves very little in the public float—and even less room for dilution.

There’s no analyst coverage. No institutional positioning. No short pressure to speak of.

That’s not a bug. It’s a feature.

This is what asymmetric setups look like before they get discovered.

At the current valuation, investors are essentially getting a human-first, AI-enhanced cybersecurity platform that:

  • Aggregates data from 20+ leading tools like SentinelOne, Proofpoint, and Rapid7
  • Delivers personalized training through its Human Firewall platform
  • Identifies high-risk users, behavioral anomalies, and insider threats in real time
  • Automates response through its proprietary IC360 command center
  • Is already being deployed across India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, and Africa

And all of that is being built inside a company trading at less than 0.2% the size of KnowBe4, which was acquired for $4.6 billion in late 2022.³²

KnowBe4 trained users.

Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) trains them, monitors them, scores their risk, integrates their behavior into the security stack—and automates the response with AI.

That’s the evolution Wall Street hasn’t seen yet.

The Setup Is There. The Rerate Hasn’t Happened—Yet.

Most cybersecurity stocks are priced off momentum, hype, or institutional coverage.

Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) has none of that.

What it has is execution. Regional scale. Government partnerships. Sticky, recurring revenue. Tight float. Aligned insiders. And a platform that solves the real threat vector every organization faces.

The only thing it doesn’t have yet… is attention.

And that’s where the upside lives.

Meet the Team Behind the Human Firewall

A great idea doesn’t mean much without the right operators behind it.

What sets Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) apart isn’t just its technology or global footprint—it’s the leadership executing it.

These aren’t startup rookies. They’re seasoned executives who’ve spent decades in enterprise IT, public company leadership, military operations, and cybersecurity infrastructure.

He also served as Global Head of Technology Risk at Scotiabank, giving him deep insight into securing complex, multi-layered infrastructure. Now part of ICS’s Cyber Future Advisory Board, Buckley brings institutional-grade cyber expertise to guide the company’s strategy in enterprise defense and post-quantum readiness.

Final Takeaway: This Cybersecurity Setup Is Hiding in Plain Sight

Strip away the noise, and what you’re left with is one of the most compelling under-the-radar cybersecurity opportunities in the public markets today.

Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) has:

    • A human-first, AI-enhanced platform (IC360) that integrates with 20+ top-tier security tools
    • Strategic government-aligned partnerships in India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Sri Lanka, and Africa
    • A behavioral cybersecurity model that goes beyond training—and automates real-time protection
    • 33% insider ownership, a tight float, and no institutional pressure
    • Active deployments across emerging markets where few competitors can follow
    • And a market cap hovering around $16 million

This isn’t a pre-revenue concept looking for a use case.

It’s a working platform, already scaling across the fastest-growing cybersecurity markets on the planet.

Meanwhile, its closest behavioral comp—KnowBe4—was acquired for $4.6 billion.

The model has been proven. ICS is executing the next evolution of it.

And yet the stock is still priced like it hasn’t even started.

The footprint is expanding. The product is live. The valuation is disconnected.

If Integrated Cyber Solutions (CSE:ICS) (OTCQB:IGCRF) delivers on what its partnerships, platform, and positioning suggest—it won’t stay under-the-radar for long.
