Denver, Colorado, Dec. 1, 2025 — Deep Fathom, a pioneering company modernizing regulatory compliance through Agentic AI, today announced that Rob Bair has joined its Advisory Board. Bair is a national security and cybersecurity leader with deep experience across government, AI, and critical infrastructure. In this capacity, he will provide expertise and insight as the company introduces its Agentic AI-based compliance solutions to satisfy emerging CMMC needs.
Bair currently leads National Security Partnerships at Anthropic, an AI company focused on building safe, steerable, and reliable artificial intelligence systems. Previously, he served as a Director on the National Security Council responsible for cybersecurity, operations policy, and intelligence programs. Earlier in his career, he held leadership roles across U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, U.S. Cyber Command, and the National Security Agency, served as a Submarine Officer, and completed a Service Chiefs’ Fellowship at DARPA.
In the private sector, Bair has helped shape how enterprises and critical infrastructure defend against advanced threats. He served as CISO in Residence at Zscaler and Director at Team Cymru. He now advises next-generation security and space companies while serving in select board and investment roles, including as a Venture Partner at TFX Capital. He is also a National Security Fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“Rob brings unparalleled national security depth to our Advisory Board,” said Steven Hess, chief executive officer of Deep Fathom. “He understands the mission pressures, policy constraints, and operational realities that shape this work, and he also sees how cutting-edge innovation in the private sector can close these gaps. His guidance will be instrumental in our ability to apply advanced technology in ways the defense and critical industry ecosystem can count on.”
Bair joins Deep Fathom at a time when defense and critical industries must absorb complex compliance requirements, such as CMMC, while simultaneously facing nation-state threats. Deep Fathom’s platforms enable organizations impacted by CMMC—regardless of sector or size—to satisfy this mandate through an advanced Agentic AI-based solution that shortens typical compliance timeframes from years down to weeks.
“I have seen how hard it is for organizations across the defense and critical industry landscape to balance mission demands, security expectations, and rising compliance requirements,” said Bair. “Deep Fathom is taking a grounded, disciplined approach to solving that problem. It is bringing serious national security awareness and real private sector innovation to a space that needs both.”
