After decades working across private equity-backed companies, Bob Flores, Founder & CEO of Cybersweep, saw the same issue surface time and time again—critical cybersecurity risks that often went unnoticed during major transactions. Those gaps don’t just create technical challenges; they can significantly impact valuation, disrupt growth plans, and introduce long-term operational risk if left unaddressed.
In this episode, Venture Best Partner David DiGiacomo sits down with Bob to explore how cybersecurity intersects with dealmaking at every stage—from initial diligence through integration and exit. Drawing on real-world examples, including how seemingly small physical vulnerabilities can expose an entire network, Bob shares why businesses need to look beyond traditional compliance and IT checklists.
