The Company Behind The AI Security Layer

Security That
Everyone Deserves

Enterprise-grade API security at startup pricing

We built G8KEPR because we were tired of watching startups choose between expensive enterprise tools or going unprotected. The AI Security Layer gives you everything: API security, MCP security, AI gateway, and verification engine - starting at $299/mo instead of $3,000+/mo.

Why We Built G8KEPR

The security industry is broken. We're fixing it.

The Problem

What we saw in the industry

Enterprise Pricing Gatekeeping
Kong: $3,000/mo. Portkey: $499/mo. Enkrypt: $299/mo. Total: $3,798/mo for basic security.
Fragmented Tools
3 vendors, 3 contracts, 3 dashboards, 3 integration projects. Complexity kills startups.
AI Security Gap
Traditional API gateways don't understand MCP, AI agents, or LLM security.
Weeks to Deploy
Enterprise sales cycles, complex setups, professional services required.

The G8KEPR Solution

What we built instead

Starting at $299/mo
API security + MCP security + AI gateway + verification engine. 9x cheaper than buying separately.
One Unified Platform
1 vendor, 1 contract, 1 dashboard. Everything works together out of the box.
Built for AI from Day 1
MCP security, AI agent protection, LLM routing, prompt injection detection.
5 Minutes to Deploy
