About

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

Company Mission To build the essential infrastructure for trust in an autonomous world. 8peaks provides the sovereign governance layer required for Europe to deploy agentic AI safely, ensuring that critical infrastructure—from telecommunications to defense—remains resilient, compliant, and under European control.

Executive Summary 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 are not just a security tool; we are the foundation of European Strategic Autonomy in AI.

Vision for the EIC Summit

8peaks is positioned to lead the European AI security market ($8.2B SAM by 2028). Our participation in the EIC Summit is dedicated to accelerating our transition from a validated Proof of Concept to a production-grade sovereign infrastructure standard. * The Vision: To standardize "AgentWacht" as the mandatory governance layer for all autonomous AI deployed on European soil.

  • The Goal: To secure the partnerships and support necessary to scale our edge-compute reference designs and establish 8peaks as the default security layer for a resilient, autonomous Europe.
