Deep-Tech SME offering Zero-Trust Sovereign AI Infrastructure & Edge Governance for R&D Consortia

8peaks is a deep-tech company based in Antwerp, Belgium. We operate at TRL-7, building the foundational security and governance layer for autonomous AI and multi-agent systems.

The Challenge We Solve: As AI workflows move out of the cloud and into local enterprise environments, autonomous AI agents often bypass traditional corporate firewalls, creating a massive "Shadow AI" vulnerability. Incumbent cybersecurity solutions only monitor network traffic; they cannot understand what an AI model actually intends to do. For highly regulated industries (Healthcare, Defense, Smart Cities, Critical Infrastructure), such behavior makes deploying Generative AI a severe liability under the EU AI Act and NIS2.
