New solution developed using sophisticated military and aerospace defense systems

• Core Guardian reduces false positives by 87%

• New product that integrates with Comtel's business. The company aims to continue growing by expanding its network and expanding its reach.

Milan, October 28, 2025. Comtel, a leading Italian ICT systems integration company for the digital transformation of businesses, continues its growth and expansion journey.

The company, led by CEO Fabio Maria Lazzerini, after closing several M&A deals in the first half of the year, is launching an innovative cybersecurity solution for businesses, institutions, and individuals. This is Comtel's first step in the cybersecurity sector, confirming the company's dynamism and readiness to expand into sectors complementary to its traditional business, delivering on the objectives set during its IPO at the beginning of the year.

The launch of CORE GUARDIAN represents a new chapter in the evolution of the company's business. The product is currently best-in-class in the industry, developed using systems inspired by the design of military and aerospace defense solutions. Core Guardian is capable of analyzing all internal and external connections within the organization and, thanks to technology that uses advanced AI algorithms, reduces false positives by 87%. The product adapts to any device and is invisible to potential hackers online, ensuring complete respect for data and user privacy.

Core Guardian, specifically, is a cutting-edge tool that automatically responds to cyber threats to protect the sensitive data of various organizations. This is the first example of a Group product that benefits from access to the EMEA network provided by Comtel International (formerly NEC Nederland), thus leveraging the potential of a widespread network and presence in various territories following strategic acquisitions completed in recent months.

"With Core Guardian, we're taking an important step in completing our ICT offering, adding a strategic pillar to our cybersecurity solutions," stated Fabio Maria Lazzerini, CEO of Comtel. "This demonstrates our ability to transform recent acquisitions into opportunities for industrial growth and international development. We're building an ecosystem of connected and secure solutions that we can market across all Group companies in Italy and through our partner network in EMEA. Furthermore, developing solutions with a significant service component allows us to gradually improve operating margins."

This strategic decision, therefore, confirms the Comtel Group's commitment to acquiring and integrating companies that operate with the same business model, thus enabling all companies to market their solutions.

The distinctive features of Comtel's offering are its unique strategy and consistent market approach for all Group companies, led by CCO Mattia Conti, with a common approach that maximizes go-to-market effectiveness.
