Summary
Joshua James is a cybersecurity leader and MAJ in the U.S. Army with 13 years of experience blending operational intelligence, systems engineering, and program-level security for military and defense space programs. He leads and trains Cyber Protection Teams, overseeing the readiness and welfare of 55 soldiers while boosting training completion rates from 38% to 73% in under a year. In industry roles he has managed security architecture and RMF/ATO processes across dozens of programs, saving programs time and cost (including a $1M procurement avoidance) and coordinating with NSA on space-ground encryption requirements. Joshua is skilled at translating mission requirements into secure system designs, from server and network configurations to satellite encryption logistics, and has transitioned mission responsibilities between major cyber commands through pragmatic risk mitigation. Based in Catoosa, OK, he pairs military leadership and field intelligence experience with a Master’s in Information Technology to create practical, auditable cybersecurity solutions for complex, high-stakes environments. A less obvious strength is his ability to find cost-saving operational fixes under launch pressure, demonstrating calm, mission-focused problem solving.
