Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic Public Affairs
The Charleston Regional Business Journal has selected Dr. Justin Williams, an employee of Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic in Charleston, South Carolina, as a recipient of the 2019 Forty Under 40 award. Nominated by members of the local community, this elite group is composed of individuals under the age of 40 who excel in the professional arena and community involvement.
A native of Huntsville, Tennessee, Williams holds several degrees, including an associate degree in electronic systems technology from the Community College of the Air Force; a bachelor’s degree in management of computer information systems from Park University; a master’s degree in systems engineering from Southern Methodist University; and a doctorate in cybersecurity from Capitol Technology University.
Williams serves as the deputy chief for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Cyber Operations Center, which provides a centralized capability for all cyber-related functions. His significant contributions to planning and defining the scope of the organization, components, concept of operations, processes and charter served as an integral part of the standup of the DHA Cyber Operations Center. As a result, the DHA Cyber Operations Center, which is located and managed from NIWC Atlantic facilities in Charleston, achieved Full Operational Capability in April 2018.
“I have been fortunate to be a part of an excellent team that has performed at a very high level. The award is a confirmation that the hard work has been recognized,” said Williams.
NIWC Atlantic provides systems engineering and acquisition to deliver information warfare capabilities to the naval, joint and national warfighter through the acquisition, development, integration, production, test, deployment, and sustainment of interoperable C4ISR, cyber and information technology capabilities.
