Our Commitment
Most small and mid-sized businesses don’t have access to experienced cybersecurity leadership. That’s the gap we solve. Cyber threats today don’t discriminate by size—but most SMBs are left managing risk without the visibility or guidance needed to stay ahead of it.
Leadership Team
Manny Engel
Founder & CEO
Manny Engel is a former Fortune 500 Chief Information Security Officer and Marine Corps veteran who has spent more than 20 years protecting businesses from real-world cyber threats. He’s led global cybersecurity programs, safeguarded billions in revenue, and managed incidents where downtime, fraud, and operational disruption were on the line.
Manny has worked directly with executive teams and boards to translate complex cyber risk into clear business decisions—because at the end of the day, cybersecurity isn’t an IT problem, it’s a business risk problem. The reality is, most small and mid-sized businesses face the same threats but don’t have access to that level of leadership or visibility. Through Veritas, Manny brings that experience directly to SMBs—helping them understand where they’re exposed, what risks actually matter, and what it could cost their business.
His approach is straightforward: cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and give business leaders the clarity and confidence to act before something forces their hand.
