Veracity started its journey in April of 2015 and by the end of calendar year 2017 had accomplished a number of important milestones:

Completed a 'Seed D' round of funding for the company, with strategic investors Microsemi Corporation and Schweitzer Engineering Labs.

Delivered product to the U. S. Department of Energy as part of the 'Chess Master' project in July of 2017. This important project will build on the successful commercial release of utility-rated software defined network (SDN) technology under the previous CEDS project, Watchdog, and produce a solution operators can use to quickly establish and apply network policies.

Added key members to the Veracity team, including Jay Williams, Executive Vice President of Revenue Generation. He was previously Vice President of Cyber Infrastructure Programs for Parsons Corporation in Centreville, Va., and was the National Industrial Cyber Security Business Development Manager for Siemens Industry and Blue Lang, Senior Product Manager, former Chief Architect and Engineering Leader for the SDN Enterprise Controller at Cisco Systems.
