CITADEL is Armorstack’s physical security operating layer — not a vendor who installs and disappears. One Armorstack contract. One physical security team. One SLA.
Part of Armorstack’s Converged Security framework — the case for treating physical and cyber security as one discipline, plus a maturity framework for assessing your own organization.
What We Operate
Five core disciplines, one converged physical security operation.
Access Control Systems
Multi-credential (badge, biometric, mobile), cloud-native or on-premises, integrated with HR for real-time access revocation.
Video Surveillance & Analytics
AI-powered anomaly detection, perimeter monitoring, occupancy tracking, and forensic search across every camera on the network.
Visitor Management
Pre-screening, badge printing, sign-in/sign-out, and direct integration with your on-site security team.
Intrusion Detection & Alarm Monitoring
24/7 monitoring center response, duress alarm integration, and automatic escalation when seconds matter.
Integration with SENTRY
Access anomalies trigger security team investigation. Video is pulled for incident context. One unified response protocol.
Powered By CITADEL FusionWatch
One Incident. Two Domains. Zero Blind Spots.
FusionWatch is Armorstack’s cyber-physical correlation engine: badge swipes, camera events, and intrusion alerts live inside the same SIEM data model as your network, endpoint, and identity telemetry — correlated automatically, inside a bounded time window. A badge anomaly at 2 AM auto-pulls the concurrent VPN sessions. A lateral-movement alert auto-pulls the door logs and camera footage for the compromised space. This is what The Operating Layer means for physical security: convergence you operate inside of 24/7, not a recommendation you’re handed and left to build.
One Data Model
Access-control logs, video analytics, and intrusion telemetry sit inside the same SIEM schema as network, endpoint, and identity data — no separate physical-security silo to bridge after the fact.
AI Analytics at Scale
Real-time detection of unusual occupancy patterns, credential misuse, and tailgating across every camera and access point — anomalies flow straight into FusionWatch for cyber-physical correlation, not a standalone alert queue.
Bounded-Window Correlation
Every physical event is automatically matched against concurrent cyber telemetry inside a fixed window — the same 15 minutes the hero promises, not a manual pull requested after the fact.
Operated Inside Armorstack’s SOC
FusionWatch runs live inside Armorstack’s SOC the day the contract starts — correlating your doors and your network under one SLA, one team, one timeline.
Structurally Different From Big Four and Regional Integrators
Big Four firms don’t operate physical security at all, so this correlation is a strategy slide, not a delivered capability. Regional integrators install the cameras and badge readers but have no cyber telemetry to correlate against. FusionWatch requires both, operated together.
