Who we are & how we work
Your infrastructure should serve you. Not tie your hands.
Mission Bay Cyber is a team of seasoned IT professionals with over two decades of experience in higher education, startups, and public companies.
We focus on the San Francisco Bay Area, bringing practical experience to security and infrastructure challenges. Our recommendations account for the people, budget, and operational capacity behind your systems.
Open source, thoughtfully chosen.
We favor open-source software when it fits the job. The goal is useful, maintainable technology—not a particular licensing model at any cost.
Self-managed, when it makes sense.
We prefer solutions that put you in control, while accounting for the time and expertise needed to operate them well.
Less lock-in. More room to adapt.
We favor portable configurations, understandable workflows, and clear documentation so future changes don’t depend on a single vendor.
