"As Sentra enters its next phase of growth, Shaun's cybersecurity expertise will be invaluable in ensuring that our customers receive the counsel, tools, and training necessary to protect their most valuable asset–sensitive data."

Shaun has held his current position since 2021. He previously spent more than 17 years at Honeywell in various positions, most recently as vice president and CISO.

"I look forward to working with Sentra's leadership team," said Shaun. "There is a tremendous opportunity here to help the company deliver a world-class product that expressly addresses the challenges CISOs face on a daily basis: how to protect data as it moves through cloud environments."
