Bryan Flores

Senior cybersecurity and information security executive with 20+ years of global experience protecting complex enterprises and enabling secure business growth. As Deputy Global CISO and Regional Security Leader for North America and Asia Pacific, I help lead security strategy, governance, and risk across an organization operating in over 100 countries and servicing 170+ markets. I’m passionate about building trust, aligning security with business objectives, and leading high-performing teams that deliver resilience at scale. My approach blends technical depth with emotional intelligence — enabling collaboration across regions, cultures, and functions. Key areas of focus: - Security Governance & Risk Management: Designing and executing enterprise-wide frameworks to manage cyber risk and ensure operational integrity. - Regulatory Compliance & Audit Readiness: Deep experience with SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001, with a track record of clean audit outcomes. - Security Program Leadership: Building and evolving scalable, metrics-driven programs that adapt to business priorities and regulatory demands. - Business Enablement & Stakeholder Engagement: Translating cyber risk into actionable insight, driving executive alignment, and embedding security into digital transformation initiatives. I believe that great security leadership is as much about influence and empathy as it is about controls and compliance. My goal is to empower teams, reduce friction, and deliver strategic security outcomes that move the business forward.
