A lean, cleared, technically elite cybersecurity firm built to deliver where generalist firms fall short.
Barracuda Bones was founded on a simple premise: federal cybersecurity deserves better than checkbox compliance and bloated consulting engagements. The name says it all — lean, fast, and built to cut through to what matters.
We specialize in the disciplines that sit at the intersection of deep technical complexity and national security — Splunk SIEM engineering, Linux security hardening, and Cross Domain Solutions. These aren't areas where you want a generalist. You want someone who has lived inside these systems.
With an active Top Secret clearance and SCI eligibility, we operate in the environments others can't access. We bring that access together with genuine technical depth and a direct, no-nonsense delivery approach.
Barracuda Bones
Cybersecurity Consulting
Our mission is to provide federal agencies and security-focused enterprises with the highest caliber of cybersecurity engineering — combining cleared access, technical mastery, and direct execution. We don't hand off to junior staff. We don't over-engineer the engagement. We show up, go deep, and deliver.
Our clearances and qualifications aren't credentials on a resume — they're the foundation of how we operate.
We hold an active TS clearance — fully adjudicated and current — enabling us to work on classified programs without delay or onboarding friction.
SCI eligibility allows us to support Intelligence Community programs and compartmented environments that require the highest levels of access control.
Deep, hands-on Splunk engineering experience across Enterprise, ES, and ITSI platforms — in federal, DoD, and commercial environments.
Native Linux expertise — STIG compliance, kernel hardening, SELinux, and security automation across major enterprise distributions.
Specialized experience designing and implementing Cross Domain Solutions in accordance with IC, DoD, and RMF requirements.
All work is performed within the United States by U.S. citizens — no offshore dependencies, no third-party subcontracting risks.
We go all the way in. No surface-level recommendations — only hands-on engineering grounded in real experience.
We tell the truth about what your environment needs — even when it's not what you want to hear. That's how real trust is built.
We move quickly and accurately. Federal work doesn't have room for vague deliverables or rework — we get it right the first time.
We operate inside some of the most sensitive environments in the U.S. government. Confidentiality isn't a policy — it's how we work.
