Bill Murphy, Chief 2XLRedZone Team

Bill founded RedZone Technologies in 2001 with the vision of deploying an elite team, rigorous assessments and dependable solutions to thrive in the “red zone”, managing the toughest 20% of IT Security projects, and unlike many, to consistently close the gap on the final 20% of project deliverables. He has recruited and trained the elite team of IT Security specialists and has developed the CIO Scoreboard and Security Assessment Methodology to work in concert with them. The success of this vision has meant consistently delivering on promises made, and earning customers’ lifelong loyalty. As a result, Bill has guided the company to a leadership position in Enterprise Cybersecurity and IT Managed Services.

Responsible for the vision and direction of the company, he has kept a singular focus on “Delivering on Promises” and earning “Customers for Life.” Leveraging the Innovation Group that he championed, RedZone is continually testing and experimenting with technologies that can be used to solve the toughest IT Security challenges; those that survive are recommended to customers. In this quickly evolving environment, his leadership has made RedZone Technologies an avenue for innovation solutions, while remaining a dependable and reliable partner, in the face of rapidly changing technologies and threats.

A prolific thinker and communicator, Bill publishes educational articles, podcasts, and innovative ideas regularly in the RedZone Technologies blog, and hosts the long-running CIO Innovation Forum Community, which helps Information Technology executives to share expertise with peers, to build professional relationships, to learn about new developments and to expand leadership skills.

Bill graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1991, and soon found a talent for understanding and improving information technology systems. He did his apprenticeship with several established IT firms before stretching out to found his own businesses.
