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.
