Helping engineering leaders, portcos, and investors eliminate cloud misconfigurations, reduce IAM blast radius, harden application security, and scale infrastructure with confidence.
Targeted diagnostics and fractional advisory designed for technology leaders, high-growth startups, portcos, and institutional investors requiring objective technical ground truth.
IAM Blast Radius | Multi-Account Segregation | CIS Baselines
Rigorous inspection of AWS/GCP/Azure control planes, IAM least-privilege boundaries, VPC network segregation, CIS foundations benchmarks, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) drift remediation.
Vulnerability Audits | Secure Baselines | IAM Hardening
Comprehensive vulnerability assessments, AWS/GCP least-privilege IAM enforcement, OWASP Top 10 mitigation, multi-tenant row-level security (RLS) verification, and enterprise procurement enablement.
Fractional Advisory | Architectural Reviews & Tech Oversight
Fractional principal architect counsel for engineering leaders, portcos, and investors. RFC & ADR architectural reviews, vendor and acquisition technical due diligence, and ongoing cloud governance.
CyberBear is led by Dr. Andrew Adams, CISSP. The advisory operates on a direct premise: cloud architecture and security risk cannot be evaluated from executive slide decks or automated scanner summaries. As an enterprise architect defending multi-tenant cloud and data infrastructure from scratch, Dr. Adams provides unvarnished, code-level reality directly to technology leaders, portcos, and investors without intermediate consulting bloat.
