Cyber Security Services
Security that holds up when pressure hits.
Most security programs optimize for coverage. Red Bear optimizes for survivability. Detection, response, prioritization, and decisions that hold up during real attacks, built by an operator who has run a ransomware operations center for hundreds of customers.
Fractional vCISO & Security Program Advisory
You need a security leader. You do not need a full-time hire. Red Bear runs as an embedded security leader for organizations that need executive-grade decisions without the headcount.
Three engagement tiers depending on depth:
- Advisor. Executive-level advisory, two days per month, $6K/month.
- Embedded. Four to five days per month, attends leadership meetings, drives the roadmap. $12K/month.
- Operator. Eight days per month, hands-on with the security program. $18K/month.
Includes AI risk program design and executive-level AI risk narratives for boards and leadership.
Talk about vCISO →Security Operations Improvement
Detection that does not actually detect. Triage queues nobody reads. Escalations that go to the wrong person. Security operations breaks in predictable ways. Red Bear fixes the predictable ways, not theoretical best practices.
Work covers detection logic, triage workflow, incident escalation, threat hunting, and security operations accountability. Includes AI/LLM integration into detection workflows and Security Operations-style design for teams that want it.
Talk about SecOps →Incident Readiness & Threat-Informed Defense
Backups and tools matter, but readiness depends on practiced decisions, clear ownership, and recovery paths that have been tested. Red Bear builds the playbooks, runs the tabletops, and pressure-tests the decisions before the incident happens.
Threat-informed defense work translates threat intelligence into specific controls, detections, and hunts. Tabletops include AI-augmented attacker scenarios for organizations modeling next-generation threats.
Talk about Incident Readiness →Cloud & Attack Surface Review
Identify exposed assets, weak configurations, identity risks, and business-impacting attack paths across cloud environments. Findings tied to impact, not a CSV of CVEs.
Talk about Cloud Review →AI Pentesting & Red Teaming
AI red teaming is not penetration testing with a chatbot in the loop. It is adversarial pressure on a system that learns, hallucinates, and connects to tools you did not write. Red Bear tests AI the way attackers will use it.
Engagement types:
- LLM Application Testing. Prompt injection, jailbreaking, data leakage, output manipulation, content policy bypass.
- AI Agent & Tool-Use Testing. Adversarial testing of agentic systems with tool access. Indirect prompt injection, privilege escalation, agent autonomy abuse.
- Integration Boundary Testing. Authentication, data exposure, and trust assumptions baked into AI-to-system handoffs.
- Prompt Injection Assessment. Direct and indirect, mapped to your specific deployment.
