ALISO VIEJO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 10, 2017) - Veracity Industrial Networks, a leading developer of Industrial SDN-based technology for operational networks, today announced that Dave Whitehead, chief operating officer of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), has joined its board of directors. SEL recently became an investor in Veracity.
"We are very pleased to add Dave to the Veracity board," said Paul Myer, Veracity CEO. "We have a great relationship with Schweitzer Engineering and we're excited to expand that relationship at the board level as we develop products for industrial cybersecurity designed to protect critical infrastructure like power plants and water treatment facilities."
"Veracity has a very innovative platform that will see rapid adoption in the marketplace," said Whitehead. "We are excited to work with them to increase the visibility and security in today's ICS networks using SEL SDN technology."
Veracity has created a platform based on Software Defined Networks (SDN) technology that allows visibility and control of industrial networks. Veracity will be offering SEL switches as part of their "start up" package offering.
Last week, Veracity announced the closing of its "Seed D" round of investors. Total investment for the round was $1.5 million and included Microsemi, Hollencrest Capital Management and SEL. Veracity is now moving directly to a Series A funding round, forecasted to close in early 2018.
