Over the span of a wide-ranging career, Ray
Hutchins has acquired extensive experience in a
variety of businesses and industries and has
bootstrapped and successfully sold several
companies.
All his previous businesses were built around an
IT core and in order to make those businesses
succeed, Ray had to master the IT side of
things.
Starting a chain of primary medical clinics and
a pediatric oncology center in 1984, he used IT
to process medical claims and patient data.
After successfully building and selling the
primary care company to HCA in 1994, Ray moved
into Internet marketing and mastered the
intricacies of the new art of SEO and social
media marketing. This process caused him to
build a cyber network of over 600 web sites,
3,000 blogs and other Internet assets designed
to help Ray's businesses and client businesses
to achieve search engine prominence. Over time
these many assets attracted attention and
started being attacked and hacked by competitors
and others.
The necessity to defend those assets from attack
ultimately led to the founding of Denver Cyber
Security which helped companies assess, mitigate
and defend their networks. This daily, hands-on
cyber security experience provided the
knowledge-base and foundation for Ray's current
venture--Data1Qbit.
Data1Qbit is a comprehensive, big data IT
system engineered to collect data on ALL cyber
security companies and ALL cyber security
products they produce--globally. This data is
organized, processed, and then sold to various
target markets via various products and
channels.
Ray, as one of the world's first cyber security
data specialists, is now in the process of
funding this new venture and anticipates formal
launch of the system in 2016.
