This acquisition is expected to create a comprehensive suite of solutions that combine data monetization with robust cybersecurity, addressing the growing need for secure data handling in the Web 3.0 environment.
Under the terms of the agreement, CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI, with its founder, Chairman and CEO Sai Huda serving as president of the subsidiary. The strategic rationale behind the acquisition lies in the complementary nature of both companies' technologies.

The company's Acoustic Science Division features WiSA, ADIO and Sumerian patented technologies for wireless HD sound transmission, while the Data Science Division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing for data perception, valuation and secure monetization. CyberCatch's AI-driven platform enhances threat detection and compliance automation, which can be integrated into Datavault AI's offerings to ensure secure transactions and data integrity.
The acquisition positions Datavault AI to offer end-to-end solutions for industries such as fintech, healthcare, real estate and entertainment, where secure data handling and monetization are paramount. By incorporating CyberCatch's continuous compliance capabilities, Datavault AI can provide its clients with enhanced cybersecurity measures, reducing risks associated with data breaches and regulatory non-compliance. The combined entity aims to foster responsible AI with integrity, particularly through the Information Data Exchange (IDE), which enables Digital Twins and licensing of name, image and likeness by attaching physical objects to immutable metadata objects.
