Vendor-neutral guidance, open playbooks, and practical drills for U.S. municipal, utility, and healthcare organizations — built to protect the services communities depend on.
Aligned with federal frameworks
The Challenge
Municipalities, utilities, and healthcare providers operate complex IT/OT environments with limited security budgets, legacy systems, and shrinking staff — making them prime targets.
Most commercial solutions are vendor-driven and too costly. What these organizations need is practical, evidence-based guidance they can act on — not product pitches.

About
Citadel Cyber Solutions was founded by a cybersecurity leader who built and defended critical infrastructure for a city of 3 million — during a full-scale war.
Before relocating to the United States, our founder directed municipal cybersecurity operations in Kyiv — establishing a monitoring center that protected over 1,000 city facilities and repelled cyberattacks targeting thousands of surveillance systems during the 2022 Russian invasion.
That work was done in coordination with Fortinet, Cisco, HPE, and Motorola — under live threat conditions, with zero margin for error. We bring that framework to U.S. municipalities, hospitals, and utilities. Not theory. Proven under fire.
