Datavault AI has agreed to acquire CyberCatch Holdings for approximately $94.5 million in cash, adding continuous cybersecurity compliance, AI-powered penetration testing, and quantum-resistant encryption technology to its data and edge computing platform.
Under the definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire all approximately 26.8 million outstanding CyberCatch common shares for $3.53 per share.
Outstanding dilutive securities will be exchanged on a cashless-exercise basis.
The acquisition is structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia.
Following completion, CyberCatch is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Datavault AI and continue operating from San Diego.
CyberCatch founder, Chairman and CEO Sai Huda is expected to become President of the subsidiary and report to Datavault AI CEO Nathaniel T. Bradley.
CyberCatch provides a patented AI-enabled software platform designed around continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation.
The system uses generative AI to evaluate whether required cybersecurity controls are in place and calculate a Cyber Hygiene Score.
It also uses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor behavior, perform penetration testing, and calculate a Cyber Breach Score.
CyberCatch’s approach is designed to replace or supplement periodic manual security assessments with continuous automated testing.
The platform evaluates cybersecurity controls from three directions: outside-in, inside-out, and through social engineering.
Its reporting can map findings against security and regulatory frameworks including NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS.
Specialized AI agents perform tasks including reconnaissance, vulnerability detection, selection of attack techniques, exploitation, evidence gathering, reporting and development of mitigation recommendations.
Datavault AI plans to integrate those capabilities throughout its broader technology stack.
The company expects CyberCatch to become a cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer supporting DataValue, DataScore and Information Data Exchange, along with workloads operating through Available Infrastructure’s SanQtum quantum-resistant zero-trust edge environment.
The integration is also expected to extend to Datavault AI’s Acoustic Sciences technologies and deployments across sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare and energy.
Datavault AI sees particular potential among federal contractors and companies operating in regulated industries where continuous evidence of compliance can influence procurement, audits and contract renewals.
The transaction also adds CyberCatch’s MARS-MABE encryption technology.
The patent-pending multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation technology is designed to provide highly granular access controls and permit user access to be revoked from specific subsets of data without requiring an entire dataset to be re-encrypted.
CyberCatch is working to make MARS-MABE quantum-resistant. The company believes combining that technology with continuous agentic AI penetration testing could create a broader security architecture for industries including defense, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services and energy.
CyberCatch expanded the technology through an acquisition completed in February 2026 and has also established reseller and referral relationships during the year.
Its customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education and public-sector markets.
The proposed transaction comes as Datavault AI looks to make cybersecurity a more deeply integrated component of its data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement and real-world asset tokenization infrastructure.
Completion remains subject to CyberCatch shareholder approval, court approval in British Columbia, applicable TSX Venture Exchange approvals and other customary closing conditions.
KEY QUOTES:
“Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI. It is the precondition for both. CyberCatch’s continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation platform is expected to add to DataValue, DataScore, and IDE a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers.”
Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI
“Datavault AI’s quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives our customers a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in.”
Sai Huda, Founder, Chairman and CEO of CyberCatch
