James Bowlin Appointed Vice President of Cyber
Security Engineering
NCI, Inc. (NASDAQ:NCIT), a leading provider of information
technology (IT) and professional services and solutions to U.S.
Federal Government agencies, today announced James Bowlin has
joined the executive team as vice president of cyber security
engineering. He will be responsible for leading NCI’s enterprise
strategy for the cyber market.
Bowlin brings more than 15 years of experience in cybersecurity,
software development, and system of systems integrations across
high visibility Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs
(VA) programs.
In his most recent role, he served as the Atlantic technical
expert for information assurance (IA) policy and risk management at
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) Atlantic. Bowlin
was the chief engineer for the Defense Health Agency’s (DHA)
Defense Medical Information Exchange (DMIX) Program Office,
overseeing security engineering for multiple programs and legacy
systems such as the Clinical Health Data Repository (CHDR),
Bidirectional Health Information Exchange (BHIE) Adaptors and
Viewers, BHIE Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology
Application (AHLTA), BHIE SHARE, Terminology Services, DMIX Data
Exchange Service (DES) and Joint Legacy Viewer (JLV). He provided
security guidance to the DMIX program office to further enable
seamless medical data sharing and interoperability adhering to
national standard.
DMIX is part of DHA’s larger deployment of a single electronic
health record (EHR), called GENESIS, which aims to transform and
advance healthcare delivery and data sharing. After his role
serving the DMIX program office, Bowlin took on the position of
lead interface engineer for GENESIS.
“Securing health data is a cornerstone to progress in
interoperable EHRs for our veterans, active duty military and their
families,” said Paul A. Dillahay, NCI president and CEO. “NCI
welcomes James to our executive team and we look forward to having
him work with our customers to provide solutions to their most
complex engineering challenges.”
In addition to his achievements with DHA, Bowlin also served in
functionary roles with the VA. He was tapped as the lead security
engineer to integrate and implement an Agile information assurance
framework for the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS) —
accelerating the agency’s commitment to improve engagement with
veterans and beneficiaries through the fast delivery of high
quality, Agile-driven IT solutions.
Sandra Gillespie, senior vice president and general manager of
the Agile and Analytics Sector at NCI, commented, “James has
significant experience with integrating and implementing security
in an Agile and DevOps environment within federal agencies, such as
DHA and the VA. As government IT infrastructure and modernization
needs become more dynamic, James’ focus will be supporting
innovative solution development that secures federal health data
environments.”
NCI’s cybersecurity and advanced Agile analytics offerings help
federal agencies such as DHA and VA, securely unleash the power of
their data to achieve better user experiences, enhanced predictive
analytics and more effective fraud detection.
Bowlin is a certified ethical hacker, certified information
systems security professional (CISSP), security+ holder, and fully
qualified Navy and Marine Corps validator.
Bowlin Examines Agile Cybersecurity Engineering
Bowlin has authored a white paper, “A New Model to ATO: Agile
Cybersecurity Engineering.” In this paper, he examines how
Agile-driven cybersecurity is helping federal agencies achieve more
proactive and continuous system authority to operate (ATO)
designations. Bowlin will be available for additional comments at
the upcoming Defense Health IT Symposium (DHITS) taking place July
25‒27 in Orlando. You also can access the white paper here.
