Agent Orchestration Architecture

SentinelForge uses a multi-agent architecture where specialized AI agents coordinate security operations autonomously.

Agent Types

Recon Agent - Performs continuous network discovery and asset enumeration
Vulnerability Agent - Coordinates scanning tools and prioritizes findings by risk
Exploit Agent - Validates vulnerabilities through controlled exploitation
Response Agent - Executes containment and remediation playbooks
Forensics Agent - Collects and analyzes artifacts for incident investigation
Compliance Agent - Monitors security posture against policy baselines

Orchestration Flow

Agents communicate through a local message bus with no external network requirements. The orchestration layer manages agent lifecycle, task prioritization, and resource allocation. All inter-agent communication is encrypted and logged for audit compliance.

DDIL Deployment Configuration

SentinelForge is designed from the ground up for Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited-bandwidth (DDIL) environments.

Deployment Modes

Air-Gapped - Complete isolation with no network interfaces active. All updates via removable media.
DDIL-Connected - Opportunistic synchronization when connectivity is available. Full autonomy when disconnected.
Edge-Deployed - Lightweight configuration for resource-constrained edge hardware (ARM64/x86_64).

Requirements

Linux kernel 5.10+ (hardened preferred)
Minimum 16 GB RAM (32 GB recommended)
4 CPU cores (8 recommended)
100 GB storage (SSD recommended)
No internet connectivity required

AegisOS Integration

AegisOS provides physical security event data to SentinelForge for cyber-physical threat correlation. Integration is handled through a local API with mutual TLS authentication.

Capabilities

Physical access event correlation with network anomalies
Facility sensor data integration for environmental threat detection
Unified alert dashboard combining cyber and physical events
Automated lockdown procedures triggered by correlated threat indicators

AriaOS Audit Integration

AriaOS provides governance and compliance capabilities, ensuring every SentinelForge action is logged, auditable, and policy-compliant.

Capabilities

Immutable audit log for all security operations
Policy engine for operational constraints and approval workflows
Compliance reporting for NIST, FISMA, and CMMC frameworks
Role-based access control with multi-factor authentication
