C3 Overhauls Security Leadership to Scale Defense Industry Services
Arlington-based C3 is restructuring its executive team to bolster its cybersecurity and compliance footprint for the Defense Industrial Base. The strategic shift, announced July 8, 2026, places new leadership at the helm of the firm's AI initiatives and managed security operations as the company targets complex regulatory requirements.
