"The DCIO(CS)-CISO is a critical position, responsible for providing expert policy, technical, program, and Department-wide oversight support to the DoD CIO on all cybersecurity matters. Mr. Bishop brings an extensive and unique blend of industry, federal, and transformational experience that will be critical as the Department focuses on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's charge for lethality, efficiency and warfighter readiness."
"Before the Air Force, Bishop was the CISO, VP of Enterprise Business Transformation and Chief Architect at Science Applications International Corporation. He previously served as General Manager of Microsoft Corporation's National Security Group. Earlier in his career, he was Chief Technologist at Keane Federal Systems and CTO of ANSTEC. He is also a Navy veteran."
The Department of Defense announced the appointment of James 'Aaron' Bishop as its new acting leader for cybersecurity enterprise, serving as department-wide CISO and deputy chief information officer for cybersecurity. Bishop replaces David McKeown, who is retiring after over four decades in federal service. Bishop brings extensive experience from multiple sectors, including previous roles as CISO and VP of Enterprise Business Transformation at Science Applications International Corporation, General Manager of Microsoft's National Security Group, and Chief Technologist at Keane Federal Systems. The appointment aligns with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's priorities for lethality, efficiency, and warfighter readiness. This leadership change follows Katie Arrington's return to DOD as acting CIO in early 2025.
