BALTIMORE - AussieJournal -- Aquia Inc., a veteran-owned small business specializing in cloud and cybersecurity professional services, today announced that the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has formally verified its status as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

The U.S. government has a long-standing commitment to contracting with veteran-owned small businesses. Through its Veterans First Contracting Program, VA awards a large number of contract dollars to veterans every year by offering set-aside contracting opportunities. Additional opportunities are also available for businesses owned by veterans who are service-disabled.

Led by three U.S. service-disabled veterans, Aquia marries a deep understanding of national security concerns with extensive experience building and implementing security solutions at scale across the public sector, enterprise, and top technology companies.
