Independent Cloud Architecture & Application Security Advisory
Helping engineering leaders, portcos, and investors eliminate cloud misconfigurations, reduce IAM blast radius, harden application security, and scale infrastructure with confidence.
Calibrated for Production Scale & Technical Diligence
Targeted diagnostics and fractional advisory designed for technology leaders, high-growth startups, portcos, and institutional investors requiring objective technical ground truth.
Cloud Security Architecture & Risk Diagnostic
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.
Application Security & Codebase Diligence
Vulnerability Audits | Secure Baselines | M&A & Code Diligence
Comprehensive vulnerability assessments, AWS/GCP least-privilege IAM enforcement, OWASP Top 10 mitigation, multi-tenant row-level security (RLS) verification, and enterprise procurement enablement.
Strategic Technical Advisory
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.
Institutional Authority.
Production Ground Truth.
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.
