8peaks: Securing European Sovereignty in the Age of Autonomous AI

As Europe enters the "Agentic Era," our digital infrastructure faces a critical vulnerability: the proliferation of unmanaged AI agents. Current cloud-based governance solutions are insufficient, creating a "Shadow AI" crisis that threatens enterprise data and national security.

8peaks solves this through AgentWacht, a kernel-level Zero Trust governance stack that inspects AI intent in real-time, providing an unbypassable circuit breaker for autonomous actions. We serve as a core technical software partner for European consortia.
