Founded by Dwayne Robinson
Mighty77 is a cybersecurity organization founded by Dwayne Robinson, a security executive with more than two decades of experience protecting some of the most recognizable names in entertainment, sports, retail, and public infrastructure. Today, Mighty77 is channeling that deep, specialized knowledge of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence into building consumer and enterprise software, including Sneaker Heat.
Dwayne Robinson is a cybersecurity leader whose career spans the music industry, live entertainment, retail, and transportation. He currently leads cybersecurity at the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro), one of the largest public transit agencies in the United States, where his work covers security operations, incident response, identity and access governance, and large-scale event protection.
Before LA Metro, Dwayne served as Head of Cybersecurity at SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, Chief Information Security Officer at Trader Joe's, and Global Director of Cyber Security for the Digital Supply Chain, Studios and Record Labels at Universal Music Group. His earlier career included senior technology leadership roles at Interscope Records and across the Universal Music family of labels, giving him a rare, end-to-end view of how creative intellectual property is created, moved, and protected at scale.
In 2023, Dwayne was recognized by Cisco as Cybersecurity Defender of the Year for the Americas region for his work securing SoFi Stadium — a venue that hosts the Super Bowl, World Cup matches, and some of the largest live events in the world.
Dwayne holds a Master of Science in Cyber Security Engineering and an MBA in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, along with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems. He has completed executive education in negotiation and competitive decision-making at Harvard Business School, and holds the CISSP and Microsoft Certified Professional certifications. He is also a private pilot — a discipline that mirrors his approach to security: rigorous preparation, situational awareness, and disciplined execution under pressure.
After years of defending other organizations' platforms, data, and intellectual property, Dwayne founded Mighty77 to build software the way a security professional believes it should be built — with privacy, integrity, and user trust designed in from the very first line of code rather than bolted on afterward.
The convergence of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity created a unique opportunity. Modern AI makes it possible to deliver experiences that were impossible just a few years ago — like instantly identifying a sneaker from a photo, grading its condition, and pricing it against the live market. Pairing that capability with a security-first engineering mindset is exactly what Mighty77 was built to do. Sneaker Heat is the first product to come from that vision.
Mighty77 combines hands-on cybersecurity leadership with practical AI implementation to design, build, and secure modern software products. Our work sits at the intersection of three disciplines:
Security strategy, program design, incident response readiness, identity and access governance, and risk assessment — drawn from real CISO experience across entertainment, retail, and critical infrastructure.
Designing and deploying practical AI features — image recognition, automated grading, market intelligence — with a focus on accuracy, transparency, and responsible data handling.
Building consumer and enterprise applications with privacy and security engineered in from day one — from architecture and data protection to the way features are shipped to users.
