RESTON, Va., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Electrosoft Services, Inc., a highly respected cybersecurity and digital transformation firm, today announced the promotion of Cecil "Cease" Dildine to the position of vice president of DoD programs. A veteran cyber and audit program management executive, Dildine brings more than 40 years in federal service to the role, including two decades as a U.S. Army Counterintelligence Warrant Officer. He will guide Electrosoft's Department of Defense portfolio, providing strategic direction, operational leadership and collaborative engagement to deliver mission-driven solutions.
