E3/Sentinel, a NewSpring Holdings platform company, announces the appointment of Lieutenant General (Retired) J. Kevin McLaughlin, former Deputy Commander of U.S. Cyber Command, to its Board of Directors.

General McLaughlin graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and entered the Air Force in 1983. Prior to his September 2017 retirement, General McLaughlin’s last active duty assignment was as the Deputy Commander of Cyber Command, during which he directed 12,000 personnel and managed a $525M budget to defend the nation’s largest information network, to provide cyberspace options to commanders, and to protect critical U.S. infrastructure from cyber-attacks. He is also the current Director for Cyber Policy, Strategy and Security at The George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University.
