Sovereign Unified Autonomous IT Operations (Citadel)
Sovereign, Air-Gapped Ready Infrastructure
Includes Post-Quantum Cryptography and an AI-Native Arbiter for zero-trust enforcement. Citadel is a security-hardened, AI-native platform for running critical digital infrastructure—fully integrated and designed for environments where control and compliance are non-negotiable.
iTechSmart Inc is a Unified Autonomous IT Operations (UAIO) platform and enterprise IT consulting provider that automates incident response, observability, security, and compliance workflows across cloud and hybrid infrastructure.
Deployment Models
On-Prem, Private Cloud, and Air-Gapped readiness.
Cloud Edition – Flexible, Scalable, Instant
Ideal for startups, managed services, SaaS vendors, and remote teams that need global reach and DevOps flexibility.
Deploy Citadel on any cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, or private cloud) with full Helm and GitOps support.
4U On-Prem Appliance – Sovereignty in a Box
Purpose-built for governments, defense, critical infrastructure, and air-gapped operations.
The 4U hardware comes hardened, encrypted, and fully pre-configured to run without external dependencies.
Unified Command & Control
Monitor your global security posture and autonomous remediation chains from a single, high-fidelity dashboard.
Zero Trust Architecture & Security Controls
Integrated platform features for high-assurance environments.
Immutable OS & Container Runtime
Built on an immutable, declarative OS layer (Fedora CoreOS or NixOS) for secure, tamper-resistant base images. Containers run on Docker, Podman, or Kubernetes.
Secure Storage & Secrets
S3-compatible encrypted object storage with MinIO. Vault manages secrets, credentials, and encryption keys, enabling transparent encryption.
Secure Messaging & Email
Decentralized, E2EE real-time communication via Matrix Synapse, plus a hardened Postfix, Dovecot, and Rspamd mail server stack.
Post-Quantum Crypto & Identity
Integrates OpenQuantumSafe for post-quantum secure authentication and supports passwordless login with WebAuthn (FIDO2).
Networking & SD-WAN
Advanced routing with FRRouting (BGP, OSPF), encrypted tunnels via WireGuard, and a zero-trust service mesh with Calico or Istio.
Monitoring & Observability
A complete observability stack with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki for metrics, dashboards, and log aggregation.
AI-Powered Log Analysis
Utilizes a Weaviate vector database and local vLLM inference for semantic search, anomaly detection, and contextual log analysis.
SIEM & Threat Detection
Combines Wazuh for HIDS, Suricata for NIDS, Arkime for packet capture, OSQuery for forensics, and TheHive for response.
Unified Management Console
A custom-built console (React + Go) integrating all components with role-based access, real-time alerts, and interactive dashboards.
