In today’s world, investors should not invest a dime in a venture until the founders can prove that the intellectual property and the systems that drive the venture are protected from cyber security threats. As hard to believe as it may be, that is still not the philosophy driving most investments today.
Fortunately for potential investors investigating this opportunity, this problem does not exist here.
Cyber security is the foundation of Data1Qbit. It is engineered into the system architecture at all four layers. It is baked into the operational planning and thinking, and it will be part of our corporate culture and training from Day One.
Cyber security always starts at the top…with the company leader, the CEO. If the commitment to secure the organization’s assets does not start there, the strategy is doomed.
Our founder comes from the security industry…from the ground up. He has done it and he gets it—with an evangelic passion. In addition to having hands-on experience conducting security risk assessments, architectures, mitigations, and vendor assessments, he speaks about it extensively—consults, cajoles, and does whatever he can to get business leaders to take this critical threat seriously.
He has served on the board of the Denver ISSA (Information Security System Association). He is fully fluent in the language of cyber security and has strong relationships with a wide-range of security experts and companies. As a result of the twenty months spent building Data1Qbit, he has a unique birds-eye view of the tools and systems that comprise the industry. He understands full well the difficulties of securing an enterprise network, and he knows how the subject must be approached in order to achieve success in the most cost-effective manner.
A close inspection of the documents associated with this opportunity will reveal that security is a foundational element in our business strategy. Data1Qbit will be positioned as an industry leader and we will set the standard for effective enterprise security strategy, policy and implementation. This security framework will drive the growth of our customer base and reputation, and it will secure our future—both short- and long-term.
It is easy to understand the short-term effects of this type of positioning. But long-term requires an explanation.
Data1Qbit’s strategy is to build its initial data collection and distribution systems targeted at cyber security. Once those systems are built and operational, we intend to move into other technology spaces such as cloud services, electronic manufacturing, genomics, and others.
Our technology platform has been engineered for easy cloning and once cloned and partnered with the right industry SME, it can be re-targeted anywhere to start collecting data and selling products. But no matter where we go, when we clone and re-engineer the technology platform for another industry, cyber security will be an inherent component of the system. This is because all technology industries are built upon an IT infrastructure—and this infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber security threats.
Our cyber security foundations and unsurpassed data resources will make our system and data products the de-facto standards in any future industries we tackle.
