Ray Hutchins
Denver Cyber Security President, Data1Qbit
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 of 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 his and client businesses achieve search engine prominence. Over time, these many assets attracted attention and began to be attacked and hacked by competitors and others.
The necessity to defend those assets from attack ultimately led to the founding of Denver Cyber Security (DCS). More
So, you have come to the right place. Ray has built and vetted the highest quality, most trustworthy cyber security team in Denver. Call him to learn more.
