Andrew Chanin speaks with CNBC in June about HACK.

Andrew Chanin is a one-man band competing with industry giants.

The 30-year-old founder and sole employee of New York-based PureFunds runs the $1.2 billion PureFunds ISE Cyber Security exchange-traded fund, according to Bloomberg's Anthony Effinger.

The fund invests in cyber security firms, including Cisco Systems Inc. and Fortinet Inc.

It launched under the ticker symbol "HACK" 12 days after news outlets reported a breach in Sony Pictures Entertainment's computer network.
