CEO and co-founder of SimSpace, William “Hutch” Hutchinson, has over 20 years of leadership experience in public and private sectors, spearheading cutting edge tactical and strategic cyber exercises at State, Federal and International level.
Before co-founding SimSpace in 2015, Hutch was a decorated senior Air Force Officer, clocking in over 3,500 hours in F-15 Eagle and T-38 Talon aircraft. Based on his extensive experience conducting Red Flag exercises in the military, Hutch was handpicked to lead US Cyber Command’s first joint force-on-force tactical cyber training exercise, Cyber Flag. Hutch also founded the DoD’s inaugural Cyber Guard exercise, with the aim of coalescing entities from State and Federal level.
Through co-founding SimSpace, Hutch sought to bring his track record of operational excellence to cybersecurity, using technology based on 15 years’ worth of research conducted at MIT’s prestigious Lincoln Laboratory. His vision is to test, train and asses the risk of critical national infrastructure organizations and Global 2000 companies by pushing their systems to failure, ensuring their battle-readiness against the most sophisticated attack methods used by adversaries today.

- 1. A tougher balancing act in 2024, the year of the CISO
While CISOs are mostly satisfied, their jobs are increasingly stressful. Corporate executives and boards must take steps to address these challenges.
- 2. CISOs Struggle for C-Suite Status Even as Expectations Skyrocket
An IANS survey shows that CISOs shoulder more and more legal and regulatory liability for data breaches, but few are getting the recognition or support they need.
- 3. OPINION: The growing role of CISOs in cybersecurity governance – APDR
I predicted this in 2015...
In today’s interconnected world, the importance of robust cybersecurity cannot be overstated. With an ever-expanding digital landscape, the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) has evolved to become pivotal in ensuring the integrity, resilience, and compliance of an organisation’s cybersecurity infrastructure.
As guardians of data, privacy, and digital assets, CISOs are at the forefront of shaping the future of cybersecurity governance, effectively bridging the gap between technology and strategic business objectives.
- 4. Unlocking the Importance of Cybersecurity for Business Success – Joseph Steinberg: CyberSecurity Expert Witness, Privacy, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisor
In today’s digitally driven world, in which businesses heavily rely on computer systems and the information living within such systems, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated. As organizations embrace digital transformation, and delver further and further along the path towards such, they open themselves up to a myriad of cyber threats. Because failing to remain cybersecure can literally cause a business to fail and go entirely “out of business,” understanding and prioritizing cybersecurity is not just a matter of protecting sensitive data; it is a fundamental component of ensuring business success, continuity, and resilience in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape.
- 5. Want to Be a Better Leader? Stop Thinking About Work After Hours.
It’s not uncommon for managers to continue thinking about their job, even after the official workday is over. This may involve ruminating about an issue with an employee, trying to think of a solution to a client problem, or creating a mental to-do list for the next day. But new research shows that this tendency may not be beneficial, particularly for people new to a leadership role. In fact, constant rumination leads managers to be more depleted and less able to show up as leaders — something even their employees can pick up on.
- 6. How Do I Handle Negative Feedback from My Team?
She’s grown her entire career at one company, but now she’s in a new leadership role and she recently felt blindsided by negative feedback from her team. She’s struggling to process the feedback and respond. Host Muriel Wilkins coaches her through how she can move forward with her team.
