Agile Technical Subcontracting for High-Stakes Programs
CyberBear Research Group LLC operates as an agile, highly specialized technical advisory firm supporting defense primes, civilian agency system integrators, and public sector mission owners. We deliver deep technical ground truth in cloud security engineering, adversarial AI evaluation, and Zero Trust control plane enforcement.
Mission-Critical Engineering & Assurance
Deep-tech advisory engineered to meet the stringent security baselines of the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and Federal Civil agencies.
Cloud & DevSecOps Architecture
Designing and validating resilient AWS GovCloud and Azure Government infrastructure. Hardening Kubernetes clusters, architecting secure enclaves, and embedding automated CI/CD security gating to accelerate Authority to Operate (ATO).
- • AWS GovCloud & Azure Government infrastructure-as-code baselines
- • Kubernetes STIG hardening, network policies, and container image provenance
- • FedRAMP High / Moderate and FISMA control mapping & SSP evidence gathering
Zero Trust & Control Plane Security
Identity-centric architecture rigorously aligned with the DoD Zero Trust Reference Architecture and NIST SP 800-207. Containment of IAM blast radius, micro-segmentation of sensitive enclaves, and continuous cryptographic verification.
- • DoD Zero Trust 7 Pillars implementation roadmap & audit
- • NIST SP 800-207 policy decision points (PDP) & enforcement points (PEP)
- • Cloud IAM blast radius mitigation and cross-tenant isolation enforcement
AI/ML Mission Assurance
Comprehensive security assessments for operationalized machine learning and LLM pipelines deployed in mission-critical workflows. Adversarial input testing, training data poisoning defense, and data isolation for retrieval-augmented generation.
- • NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) execution
- • MITRE ATLAS (Adversarial Threat Landscape for AI Systems) mapping
- • Secure RAG data boundaries and vector embedding leak containment
