Institutional Security Architecture, Cloud Control, and AI Governance.
Principal-led technical advisory and offensive-informed defense for enterprise engineering teams, growth equity deal teams, and public-sector programs.
Offensive-Informed Defense Across the Systems Lifecycle
Calibrated for enterprise engineering leaders, growth equity deal sponsors, and public-sector mission owners requiring code-level technical ground truth without intermediate consulting bloat.
Architecture Diagnostics & Zero Trust
Cloud IAM Blast Radius Containment • API Boundaries • Control Planes
Rigorous inspection of multi-cloud control planes (AWS, GCP, Azure), IAM least-privilege boundaries, network micro-segmentation, and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) drift to eliminate cross-tenant bleed vulnerabilities and harden API perimeters.
- • IAM wildcard privilege pruning & cross-account trust boundaries
- • Row-level security (RLS) & multi-tenant database isolation
- • NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust control plane alignment
Adversarial AI & Model Governance
LLM Pipeline Red Teaming • Prompt Injection Resilience • RAG Isolation
Empirical red teaming and security architecture for production generative AI systems, agentic pipelines, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures to stress-test prompt barriers and verify vector store tenant separation.
- • Direct & indirect prompt injection resilience testing
- • Vector embeddings data isolation & cross-tenant leakage prevention
- • NIST AI Risk Management Framework & MITRE ATLAS coverage
M&A Technical Due Diligence
Rapid 4-Day Code & Architecture Audits for Acquisitions Under Active LOI
Turnkey technical due diligence for growth equity deal teams, buyout sponsors, and search funds evaluating software acquisitions. Using automated AST code packing and principal-led deep analysis, we uncover architecture bottlenecks and IP liabilities.
- • 5-page Investment Committee memo with executive RAG scorecard
- • Day-1 to Day-100 remediation CapEx schedule (dollarized tech debt)
- • Automated AST repository packing (
repomix) & static analysis
Federal & Defense Advisory
Secure Cloud Migration • FISMA / NIST SP 800-53 • DevSecOps Compliance
Mission-critical cybersecurity engineering and systems assurance for defense, intelligence, and civil government programs. Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) led technical strike team ready to partner on federal award vehicles.
- • AWS GovCloud & Azure Government infrastructure hardening
- • NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls & FedRAMP / FISMA ATO acceleration
- • Prime contractor small-business subcontracting & teaming (NAICS 541512, 541519)
Institutional Authority.
Production Ground Truth.
CyberBear is led by Dr. Andrew Adams, CISSP. The advisory operates on a direct premise: cloud architecture, software asset risk, and AI pipeline resilience cannot be verified from checklist surveys or automated scanner summaries. As an enterprise architect defending mission-critical cloud and distributed infrastructure, Dr. Adams provides unvarnished, code-level reality directly to technology leaders, deal sponsors, and federal program officers without intermediate consulting bloat.
