Calif., March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Mainz Biomed N.V. (NASDAQ: QUCY) doing business as Quantum Cyber (the "Company"
or "Quantum Cyber"), today announced a strategic update in response to the Trump Administration's newly released National

With the Trump Administration's National Cybersecurity Strategy
March 10, 2026, the White House released a sweeping National Cybersecurity Strategy document under the direction of President Donald
Trump, articulating six foundational pillars intended to defend the safety, security, and prosperity of the American people in cyberspace.
The strategy represents one of the most comprehensive federal policy commitments to cyber defense in recent history and signals a significant
expansion of investment and regulatory focus in both cybersecurity and quantum computing.
the key pillars of the Trump cybersecurity framework are: proactively detecting and defeating adversarial cyber actors before they breach
U.S. networks; streamlining cyber regulations to reduce compliance burdens and align the private sector with government objectives; accelerating
the adoption of post-quantum cryptography, zero-trust architecture, and secure cloud infrastructure across national security systems;
prioritizing U.S.-developed technologies over adversarial products; building a robust domestic cyber workforce; and promoting the security
of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies through the adoption of post-quantum cryptographic standards.
Cyber views the White House's strategy as a direct validation of the Company's core business thesis. The convergence of quantum
computing and cybersecurity - two domains at the center of the Trump Administration's framework - represents one of
the most significant growth opportunities in the technology sector over the coming decade. The Company believes its name, focus, and
developing capabilities place it at the intersection of both priority areas identified by the federal government.
Strategy: Pursuing Opportunities in Quantum and Cyber Defense
on the momentum of the Trump Administration's cybersecurity framework, Quantum Cyber's management team is actively evaluating
a pipeline of strategic acquisition candidates operating in quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, zero-trust network architecture,
and adjacent cybersecurity disciplines. The Company believes that a targeted acquisition strategy will accelerate its ability to build
an operationally active platform with measurable revenue potential in sectors directly aligned with U.S. national security priorities.
Company is currently conducting preliminary due diligence on several opportunities and is engaged in discussions with potential targets.
While no definitive agreements have been reached and there can be no assurance that any transaction will be consummated, management is
cautiously optimistic about the quality of the pipeline and the timeliness of the strategic window created by the current federal policy
environment. The Company intends to provide further updates as discussions progress.
Trump Administration's cybersecurity strategy is a landmark policy commitment that confirms what we have long believed: quantum
and cyber defense are the defining technology frontiers of our generation," said management of Quantum Cyber. "We are actively
looking at several acquisition opportunities that we believe would position Quantum Cyber as a meaningful participant in the sectors
the White House has identified as critical national priorities. We look forward to sharing more details with our shareholders in due
