Sovereign AI Infrastructure & Zero-Trust Governance for High-Risk Enterprise Environments

About
As enterprises shift from simple chatbots to autonomous AI agents, they face a massive "Shadow AI" crisis. These agents bypass traditional firewalls and can be manipulated via prompt injection to exfiltrate sensitive data or trigger unauthorized system actions. For sectors like Healthcare, Defense, and Critical Infrastructure, this creates an unacceptable risk and a total compliance barrier under the EU AI Act.
The 8peaks Solution: We provide the foundational security layer for the agentic era. Our platform consists of two core technologies:
-
AgentWacht (Zero-Trust MCP Gateway): A "semantic firewall" that inspects an AI agent’s actual intent in real-time. It validates every tool call and database query before execution, preventing data leaks and ensuring strict policy enforcement.
-
KennisAI (Sovereign Platform): A fully on-premise, air-gapped infrastructure that allows organizations to run advanced LLMs and agents entirely on their own hardware or at the edge
