CyBeats Strengthens Board of Directors to Guide Growth, Governance, and Channel Strategy

In December 2025, CyBeats Technologies Corp. (CSE: CYBT) (OTCQB: CYBCF), The Company welcomed Cassie Crossley as Chair of the CyBeats Advisory Board and appointed both Ms. Crossley and Tejinder Kaushik to the Board of Directors.

These appointments matter because software supply chain security is moving from awareness to accountability. Customers in critical infrastructure, medical, telecom, financial, automotive, and other regulated environments are being asked to prove what is in their software, enable secure SBOM sharing with partners and regulators, respond faster to vulnerabilities, and align with evolving compliance requirements. CyBeats is building for that reality with SBOM Studio and SBOM Consumer products, and is equally focused on ensuring its governance and strategy are built for scale.

Cassie Crossley: Bringing the Practitioner View from the Front Lines

Cassie Crossley is widely recognized as one of the foremost leaders in software supply chain security, with more than two decades of experience spanning cybersecurity, product security, and operational technology. She previously served as Vice President of Supply Chain Security at Schneider Electric, where she was an early pioneer in enterprise SBOM management and led global SBOM adoption and compliance programs. She is also the author of Software Supply Chain Security: Securing the End-to-End Supply Chain for Software, Firmware, and Hardware (O'Reilly Media).

What makes this appointment especially meaningful for CyBeats is that Ms. Crossley knows the space from the buyer's perspective. She championed a practical, scalable vision for SBOM management and sharing at Schneider Electric, working directly with CyBeats as a customer and design partner. She now brings that same practitioner lens to both Board oversight and Advisory Board leadership. This combination helps CyBeats stay grounded in what enterprise product supply chain security teams actually need: an operational, scalable SBOM management solution connected to vulnerability management workflows.

As Chair of the Advisory Board, Ms. Crossley will help guide how CyBeats listens to the market, validates product direction, and engages with the broader ecosystem of standards and best practices that CyBeats helped shape. As a Director, she supports governance level decision making as CyBeats scales adoption across regulated sectors.

Tejinder Kaushik: Adding Enterprise IT, Governance, and Manufacturing Depth

Tejinder Kaushik joins the Board of Directors with more than 25 years of global executive experience and hands-on leadership in enterprise IT operations, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and technology governance. He currently serves as Senior Vice President and Head of Information Technology at Chemtrade Logistics, a Toronto-based chemical manufacturing company with annual sales of over $1.8 billion.

Mr. Kaushik brings a strong perspective on how large enterprises evaluate risk reduction, compliance, and vendor trust, which are critical considerations for ICS/OT organizations implementing supply chain security management programs and establishing secure SBOM sharing practices. His background across governance, risk, compliance, vendor oversight, and transformation programs strengthens how CyBeats thinks about scaling responsibly, including how it builds repeatable motions through partners and channels.

Cybeats: Pioneering SBOM Management and Continuing to Lead

CyBeats has been at the forefront of SBOM management since the category's earliest days. Members of Cybeats' leadership and advisory team played a key role in defining the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and VEX standards that now underpin global regulatory frameworks, including the U.S. Executive Order 14028, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and FDA medical device requirements.

This pioneering work positioned CyBeats to develop SBOM Studio, the industry's leading platform for end-to-end SBOM management, vulnerability management, and secure SBOM sharing. Today, Fortune 500 and NYSE companies, including Emerson, Schneider Electric, and Rockwell Automation, trust SBOM Studio to manage software transparency across their global operations.

As the market matures, CyBeats continues to lead. SBOM Consumer, launched commercially in early 2025, extends Cybeats' pioneering approach to organizations that consume software-based products, enabling them to monitor software risks, operationalize SBOM management, and establish automated SBOM-sharing workflows across their supply chain.

Why This Is a Pivotal Moment for Cybeats

CyBeats enters 2026 with clear signals of commercial traction and operational momentum, supporting the investment thesis for continued growth.

In fiscal Q3 2025, revenue increased 47 percent year over year, driven by new customer acquisition and continued expansion within existing enterprise accounts. This performance reflects strong customer satisfaction and a proven expansion-driven revenue model. Management also reported the strongest pipeline in the Company’s history, spanning pilots, active proofs of concept, and procurement-stage opportunities.

On the product side, SBOM Consumer launched commercially in early 2025, extending Cybeats' total addressable market beyond software producers to organizations consuming software-based products. In April 2025, SBOM Consumer added integration with enterprise asset management systems like Nozomi and Industrial Defender, enabling OT and IT teams to map SBOMs to digital or physical assets, streamline SBOM management workflows, monitor risk in real time, and support operational vulnerability management decisions.

On the customer traction side, CyBeats announced a three-year contract expansion with Emerson, with Emerson scaling SBOM Studio across additional business units. This pattern of land-and-expand reinforces the recurring revenue model and demonstrates the scalability of Cybeats' platform within large enterprise accounts. The engagement also underscores why SBOM Studio leads the market: detecting vulnerabilities early, enabling secure SBOM sharing across the organization, and delivering enterprise-scale visibility into vulnerability management.

Independent research from Market Report Analytics estimates that the global SBOM market will reach approximately US$1.318 billion in 2025 and grow at a 24 percent compound annual growth rate from 2025 to 2033, driven by regulatory mandates and heightened software supply chain risk. CyBeats is well-positioned to capture market share in this expanding market.

This is the context for strengthening the Board now. The goal is not to change who CyBeats is. It is to support disciplined growth with strong governance, sharper strategy, and a channel-focused approach that can scale adoption across the markets the Company serves.

What to Expect Next

With Ms. Crossley and Mr. Kaushik joining the Board of Directors, and with Ms. Crossley chairing the Advisory Board, CyBeats is aligning product, governance, and go-to-market execution around what enterprise and critical infrastructure customers are asking for most: operational transparency, faster vulnerability management response, secure SBOM sharing, and clear compliance alignment.

Organizations evaluating SBOM Studio for software producers or SBOM Consumer for software-consuming organizations can expect continued platform innovation from the pioneer in SBOM management, strengthened enterprise support, and deeper integration with vulnerability management and SBOM-sharing workflows.

CyBeats is grateful for Ms. Crossley and Mr. Kaushik's willingness to contribute their time and experience, and looks forward to working with them in the service of its customers, partners, and shareholders.
