Catenaa, February 12, 2026 – CyberCatch Holdings has completed its acquisition of encryption technology firm Atriarch Inc. The move strengthens its core cybersecurity platform. It also expands its product reach.
Under the agreement, CyberCatch will issue 1.25 million shares at CAD $2.00 each. The transaction is valued at approximately CAD $2.5 million, per the deal. The company aims to integrate the new encryption tools into its AI-driven system.
Encryption plays a larger role in security budgets each year. According to Fortune Business Insights, analysts expect the global cybersecurity market to grow from $248 billion in 2026 to $699 billion by 2034. That implies a 13.8% compound annual growth rate. Meanwhile, market research forecasts steady growth in the data encryption segment over the next decade.
Therefore, CyberCatch targets a fast-growing niche within a broader expansion cycle. In addition, stronger encryption can help firms comply with evolving data privacy regulations. Companies face tighter oversight in North America and Europe. Consequently, demand for secure data storage and communication continues to rise.
In parallel, the data encryption market is forecast to grow from roughly $15.3 billion in 2025 to about $25.9 billion by 2035, reflecting consistent demand for encryption solutions.
The acquisition comes as ransomware and data breaches accelerate worldwide. Last year, ransomware attacks in the U.S. surged by 146%, highlighting the urgency for stronger defenses.
Overall, CyberCatch’s encryption acquisition signals a push toward deeper platform capabilities. As cyber risks increase, firms that offer end-to-end protection may gain an edge. Investors will now watch revenue traction and customer adoption in the coming quarters.
