Meet the Founder & CEO

Robert L. Flores

The Bridge Between Security and Operations

Robert is a seasoned CIO/CISO with 20+ years at the portfolio companies of leading private equity firms: KKR, Vista, Carlyle, and Thoma Bravo. He’s managed 13 major financial events and four exits, living firsthand the tension between airtight security and operational flexibility.

After a breach during a carve-out forced a $15M remediation under severe time pressure, Robert committed to ensuring no PE firm would face the same post-close surprise. His perspective as both a CISO and CIO drives CyberSweep’s mission: prevent hidden cyber risks from destroying value-creation plans.

“We’re just home inspectors for M&A deals. You’d never buy a house without a detailed home inspection first. Why would you buy a company without understanding its cyber risk first? It’s the same problem.”
