Tysons, Virginia – April 27, 2026: Ridgeline International today announced it is rebranding as Veilant, reflecting the company’s strategic evolution and the rapidly changing global threat environment. Veilant is a portfolio company of Enlightenment Capital.

For more than a decade, Veilant has supported national security customers in addressing their most complex challenges. Veilant’s secure communications and mission-enabling technologies are deployed in support of today’s most critical national security operations. As the landscape has become increasingly defined by ubiquitous technical surveillance (UTS), persistent digital exposure, and more sophisticated adversaries, Veilant has responded with an integrated platform that enables customers to proactively shape and control their data, outmaneuver adversaries, and advance undetected.

Over the last three years, the company has expanded its technology portfolio, launching the Waypoint product family for secure mobile communications, integrating attribution and identity management capabilities, and deepening investment in AI-enabled capabilities across its platforms. The Veilant name reflects this evolution into an integrated defense technology company delivering products, platforms, and expertise to customers operating in the most contested environments.

The evolution to Veilant comes as policymakers and national security leaders are accelerating investment to counter UTS — the mission Veilant has focused on for more than a decade. Recent NDAA provisions reflect a broader recognition that commercial sensors, global data brokers, and always-on connectivity are now being actively exploited against U.S. personnel and operations.

“Veilant represents controlled visibility — the ability to protect what matters and manage exposure in a world of pervasive digital monitoring,” said Erik Wittreich, Chief Executive Officer. “The name is a clearer expression of what this company does, who it serves, and where we are taking it. The mission has never been more urgent, and we are building to meet it.”

Veilant carries forward the mission, customers, and operational excellence that define the company. With continued investment from Enlightenment Capital, Veilant is scaling the people, products, and platforms its customers need to stay ahead of adversaries.
