What IP belongs in a vault?
Pre-filing patent material, designs and drawings, research data, source code and build secrets, AI model weights and proprietary training data.
For IP and R&D
Protecting intellectual property in the cloud.
Designs, research, source code and models are the reason your company is worth what it is worth.
Why is IP especially exposed?
It is usually held by the teams with the broadest tooling and the most collaboration, and it is exactly what nation-state and competitor-driven theft targets.
What does Citadel change?
IP at rest is not whole in any single location, there is no sharing surface, and protection does not expire with an algorithm.
Theft that shows up years later.
Stolen IP rarely announces itself. It appears as a competitor's launch, a filing that beats yours, or a model that behaves suspiciously like your own.
By then the breach is old and the data was probably taken from an ordinary shared drive.
AI models are the new crown jewels.
Model weights and curated training data represent enormous investment and are trivially portable. A single copied file can transfer years of work.
Citadel handles very large files with resumable, chunked transfer, so putting them in a vault is practical rather than theoretical.
Questions people ask
- Can Citadel handle very large datasets?
- Yes. Uploads are chunked and resumable, and capacity extends to 25 TB plans with add-ons up to 50 TB.
- Do engineers need a new workflow?
- Only for the crown jewels. Day-to-day development stays where it is; the vault holds the material that must not leak.
- What about build secrets and keys?
- They belong in a vault with no sharing surface rather than a shared drive or a wiki page.
