Information security consulting and managed services for financial institutions
Citadel is an Israel-based security consulting firm serving financial institutions, governments, and enterprises across 51–200 employees. The tech stack—Burp Suite, Metasploit, QRadar, XSOAR, Cobalt Strike—reflects a hands-on penetration testing and incident response practice. Active hiring is concentrated in security roles (8 open positions, majority mid-level and junior), with decelerating velocity suggesting either capacity satisfaction or selective growth, consistent with a services-driven model that scales people, not product.
Citadel provides information security consulting and managed services to financial institutions (banks, insurance, investment firms), governments, telecom operators, hosting providers, and academic institutions. The firm spans classic consulting disciplines—risk assessment, penetration testing, GRC compliance, secure architecture—alongside emerging capabilities in threat detection automation, security control implementation, and employee awareness programs. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Rehovot, Israel, Citadel emphasizes deep technical expertise and client-tailored delivery rather than standardized service offerings.
